Faster- great post and excellent pics, I missed it when you posted it. We are in Pender Hbr. (one of the few places that we have wifi) and heading for Jedidiah today and Laurie thought to search here for info. Thanks, this is great. Sorry we didn't see you on our trip.

Update- we left Pender Hbr. and I tried calling Faster on the VHF, not knowing if they were even still cruising, and they were less than a mile behind us! Ron suggested pulling into Anderson Bay on Texada Island for lunch so we rafted up, talked and had lunch. Ron and Eleanor are the nicest people, and know practically everything about cruising in BC (thanks again for the BC Parks book). A couple of days later we were nearing Dodd Narrows and Fast Forward was right behind us (they sailed through the rapids with a reefed main, no engine). Then, a day later, as we were pulling the anchor to leave DeCourcy Island they sailed in to wait for the slack at Gabriola Pass. It was great to meet them both and we hope to see them again when we are back up there.
