I don't quite understand the "I'll tell ya why later..." part. Tell us.

Doesn't matter whether it's a trawler, a troller, or any other style of boat. They're all good for cursing!

They seem to be most concerned with alcohol and tobacco. Other than collecting tax money, what is the other reason for duty? Do they want you to buy these things in Canada instead? Makes sense. Or, are they afraid you'll sell these things to Canadians and they won't get any tax money? Makes...

A year or two ago, TF member Kolive (I think that's who it was) posted that he took more that the allotted amount of wine into BC and he simply payed the duty by credit card. And, I don't remember him mentioning anything about any sort of delay.

Don't know of a free shuttle. The only one I know of is $5.00 each time you get on it, unless you get an all day pass for 15.00, which is actually a great deal if you want to get a quick tour of the island. Sort of like the hop-on hop-off tour buses all the big cities have now. If you have some...

It's not too bad here in Anacortes, but I'm wanting to head north tomorrow, so I'm wondering how bad it is in the Gulf Islands north to Port Hardy. Anybody out there now that can report on the conditions? Thank you.

The man never stops. Just left Dutch Harbor a couple of day ago. You can follow him at https://share.delorme.com/mapshare/ventureforth/Map/MapSharePassword?uid=14880 (password is Venture2015), and Fleming Yachts - Tony Fleming's page He's definitely living my dream and I follow him everywhere.

Magical indeed. Until . . .

Thanks all for the replies so far. The rudders and trim tabs were coated with Pettit Barnacle Barrier. And, supposedly, the areas that were looking bad when hauled were first coated with a special primer before paint because of that familiar problem to them. Rudders have zincs, they just...

Good catch. The rudder and bow thruster zincs were put on after the photos were taken, so that wasn't the problem.

Fiberglass hull, and, as embarrassing as it is, I don't know if the trim tabs are steel or aluminum. Never thought about it before.

Had the boat hauled about a month ago for bottom work. It had been almost 3 years and several of the yard workers said it looks pretty good for that amount of time except for the area around the swim platform supports and trim tabs. They also commented that they had seen this regularly on...

??? I seem to remember you posting a lot of videos on your trip down the west coast. ???

Ironically, this had never happened to me before until I clicked on this thread! In fact, it blocked the first two posts on mine. What are the odds? Anyway, I just did a refresh of the page and it went away. Hasn't happened again since. Keeping my fingers crossed.

Wouldn't customs in Victoria work? Or, are you definitely staging at Neah Bay?

One of the best things I've added to the boat. I decided on 2 and am obviously happy. PM sent

And humble too! And, no thanks needed. I was just stating the facts. Keep up the great posts!

You're new around here and it's generally wise to take many, if not most posts with a grain of salt as they're only personal opinions and not facts. However, the one person that I've never seen wrong on a post is Northern Spy. In fact, I've never even seen anyone question him until your post...

Disagree with what?

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm glad they think it's farther!

No, you will not hit that. You will need to cross Boundry Pass though, but I see more whales than swells there. For future reference - from Pender Harbour to Malibu Rapids is almost exactly the same distance as it is from Pender Harbour to Sarah Point (the entrance to Desolation Sound). When...

Ha Ha! That's funny and true! That's why I've always anchored out away from the crowds.

That's really a go-go schedule with not much time to take in the sights and/or relax, especially with PLI in there. Personally PLI is worth it to me if I can stay 3 nights. And, I like the run up Jervis Inlet. It's pretty scenic (Marin, as you suggested, it does sound as though you've been...

I have the Monterey Infrared (hot as hell) and have never had a mess, nor has the flame ever gone out. But, that may be because it's transom mounted, and, I don't remember ever using it in anything over 10 kts of wind.
