    Dinghy Selection

    Now I am confused. What is the difference between a dink and a tender? Some of the dinks look more like a tender to me.

    Interesting 61' steel boat

    Was a FS boat and was sold as excess property a few years ago. Was never a tow boat. Lots of sea stories about this boat and about a former skipper.

    Dinghy Selection

    Agree with Glen in that Lund is a good option. We use a Smoker craft which is similar to a lund.

    You may consider looking for boats in Canada. Brian Kell at Grand Yatchs in Vancouver, BC has a long history of working with US buyers. Make your best deal in Canada and take 25% additional discount due to the exchange rate. Canada is on sale. Here is the fine print, I have no financial...

    Cruising the Pacific Northwest

    Andy, Another option is Northwest Explorations out of Bellingham. They provide boats for various segments of BC and SE Alaska. They use Grand Banks and travel together, therefore often called Mother Goose. I believe they have north bound MG starting in Ketchikan, Alaska ending in Juneau and a...

    Pacific Northwest 2015

    Okay, I am bias, but I believe that SE Alaska is a much more interesting place than BC. I agree that it is wise to spend most of your time in Alaska.
