Early 1900's restored work boat

Met this fellow with an old 1900's work boat. Ran on a gas engine, 2 stroke I believe, nicely restored as well!

The Miska Meeting



National Geographic Research Vessel Returning from Alaska



This is the National Geographic Research Vessel 'Sea Lion'. She rolled past us on the north side of Saltspring Island. You can track her here.

Just a good sail!

Voila on her Maiden Voyage


Because it's my blog.

Boat Jam

Dock and a Drink


Happy hour on the dock.

San Juan 24



Andrew and his fast little San Juan 24

Holy Frigate


Here's the Canadian Navy trying to run us down. She appeared out of nowhere from behind, blasted past us at 20 knots and then disappeared. She was so kind as to leave us a 6 foot wake which knocked a laptop off a shelf and emptied our kitchen 'cupboard'.
Her waving at us!



And after she waked us!



Changing of the Thetis Island Ferries. We just happened to be in the right position at the right time to snap this picture of the ferries changing before a overhaul.
