Another great shot blocked by a few blowboats!!

Must be why they call it "Sloop Cove."

 

[AlaskaProf]

How 'bout this one?

Fury Cove:

More of some of my favorite places on the water.

From Lake Merwin, Victoria BC, Columbia river at Steamboat Landing, Columbia River in front of my condo and at Coast Guard Station Portland, OR.

So very lovely! Can understand why they are some of your favorites. Thanks.

Not yet a liveaboard up there in Puget but how about a pic from an aspirational one? Lopez Sound facing Blakely Island viewed when enjoying a cocktail in the cockpit while the kids and wife were on shore.

Funny story, literally seconds after I snapped this photo I overheard a pan pan from the CG about a kayaker in the water in distress. I usually filter these out when at anchor but wouldn’t you know it, they gave the location as Swifts Bay. The moment of realization that I was *anchored in* Swifts Bay was not exactly instantaneous but eventually I mustered myself and glassed the area and found him. Since I was only halfway into my first drink I jumped into the tender and went over and hauled him out and took his kayak under tow and delivered him over to the paramedics waiting on shore. Who knew that Lopez Island even had paramedics on duty?!? Anyhow one of the easier rescues I’ve done. Was back before the ice melted in my glass. I’m not sure my wife believes that it actually happened.

What an awesome picture and story. Glad the rescue went well.

On the way to the tuna grounds off Mex. You all seem to like sun rises/set.

From a 2 week cruise in my mini-trawler with my wife. Battle Bay (Brooks Peninsula) on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The "sunset" is actually a morning picture with smoke from forest fires.

Those are a lot of beautiful and amazing photos. OP asked about favorite photos, and below is mine. Incredible memory of survival during 5 days of hand steering in 20-30ft seas. Wish I had photos of the big ones, but I was too busy hanging on and praying.

On my photos it's not as much skill as being in the right place and time and having the camera handy.
Catching the Eiffel Tower at just the right time of day.

A toast to our wonderful European boat trip.

Ever heard of "North Face" clothing? Here's what the name comes from, the north face of Eigher Mountain.

Here's my hand built decoration for a Christmas lighted boat parade. Guess what my theme was.

Wow.. haven't been in that big of mess, but have been in rough stuff so can imagine. Glad you survived, cool picture.

Jealous of your European trip. Would love to do that, don't know if I can convince my husband though.. time will tell. So looking forward to gathering memories of the boat life myself. Thanks for sharing.
