Have a great trip in September-- I'm envious because once school starts we're pinned down (except for weekend cruises).
Next year our plan is to do three nights in Victoria, in front of the Empress, and then move on to at least two of the Gulf Islands. We've budgeted two weeks for that trip, so we can also see Sucia again, and still have time for the travel two and from Bellingham. I've also been warned that it's going to cost around $100 each for Passports for all four of us (with photos, etc), and that checking back into the US is now more time consuming than ever. We'll probably check back in at Roche Harbor.
It's cool that you once trailered a Catalina 25 up north. We met a happy couple who does that once a year. I've thought often of what it would be like to trailer a boat up for us, or have our boat trailered up, but overall it seems like the time and effort with a larger boat is too much. The idea of three lifts, and two complete de-
rigging and re-
riggings is a bit much. Now, if it was just two of us, with the right boat, maybe.
Anyway, have a great trip. Which boat are you chartering?
