- As we sail north from BC's Gulf Islands toward Desolation Sound, we stop at several beautiful harbours along the way. But we'll always remember one particular harbour for something very sad that happened while we we were there. In this episode, we're joined by friends Cheryl and Garth for the passage up to Campbell River.
My home waters, thanks for the memories.
I’m currently on a circumnavigation, sailing in Thailand.
We left in 2015.
You’re so lucky to be in those magical waters.
Enjoy

We have spent dozens of wonderful days at Wallace
I’m impressed with the quantity of the video work and editing. Nicely done! Next time going north consider going across to Malaspina Strait. Much more of a fun sail, more places to stop and it’s the same distance. Have a look at my video from last summer about transiting Dodd Narrows. Taking advantage of the current allows more flexible timing with no one around.
The only other boat I have heard of with the same name as mine. Cheers.
Great video!!! Love the tribute to Jimmy Buffet and sporty sailing footage 👍
Thank you. We love the music. He’s so iconic with sailing/boating that we felt we needed to make that a part of the video.
Been to Wallace Island many times and never made the trek to the cabin for some reason??? We always enjoy your adventure off the boat, and are def going to have to do that more this coming season.
Thanks, some fun adventures in the works for next year. Let’s make it happen!
Too bad we couldn't meet up with you guys on your way through Nanaimo, glad to see our sign is still up at Wallace 😊 Looking forward to your next video of DS
Thanks, so sorry it didn’t work out to meet up in Nanaimo. Our plans on the way back got derailed by weather and repairs. Hopefully next time we’re in town!
Great video, welcome to BC Sailing , you had great weather for Tribune Bay, and i like your boat, we live in Nanaimo and we love to explore Desolation Sound, here is a local tip for you. Rather than point straight to Hornby island and motor sail or beat into the wind (NW) set your course to a comfortable close reach, as you get some distance from Vancouver island , the wind will moderate and begin to clock to the West .You can choose malaspina straight if the wind is fairly strong , or sail comfortably o n a beam reach on the north side of Georgia straight. No need to beat up the crew or the boat and you will get there around the same time.
Sounds like a good option! Thanks so much!
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Andre
Do you know what is in a real Nanaimo bar?
Hells Angels and strippers. Lol
It’s actually “smoke and peelers, cocaine dealers, redneck loggers, non stop talkers, hookers with daughters “ according to folk singer Bob Bossin
