We hail from Port Moody, BC. Our boat is moored at Reed Point Marina. Port Moody is basically part of the metro Vancouver area.
Fort McAllister Marina. Where Sherman ended his "March to the Sea" in the civil war. Cannon balls still lay on the river bottom.
baldpaul,
GREAT pictures. Makes me miss Alaska.
We were in Van a few days ago. Ate at a Korean restaurant on Denman Pl. Then went across the street to the desert place. Vancouver is such a worldly and wonderful place. I taught school there at John Oliver in the early 70s.
Ran my OB cruiser up Indian Arm then and anchored in beautiful weather. Heard lot and lots of "circling the wagons" Indian noises and many years later found out they were shooting a movie up there.
Moorage rates still very high?
Carpe Diem's homeport is EPS at Espoo, Finland.
The port has quite a lot facilities for sail school and junior training. The club is heavily biased on sailing (majority of the 440 boats are sailboats), but they tolerate us non sailors as well.
We have a club house, maintenance facilities and saunas. The fire department keeps their boats also at our dock so they are close...
The best part is that it takes two minutes for me to get there...
Finally a picture:
No boat here yet, but hailing from New Iberia Louisiana. We're husband and wife, and a six month old Airedale terrier (see profile pic). We're looking into buying a trawler yacht and travel all over the place with it in our spare time. And now we're on this forum and read all the stories from everybody, get distracted by travel blogs, and seeing pictures... owning, driving and spending time on a trawler looks even more fun than we already anticipated. Can't wait!
