Hot dry day, with light wind. Tried out the Genoa for the first time. It added power, but also weather helm going up wind. Had a problem getting the main sail up after having the rigging tuned due to additional aftward bend; a large box shaped slug was getting caught in the track where two pieces of track are joined. I towed the dinghy with a new three point bridle that I made. It worked really well.

Light winds, sunny day, calm waters. Mostly 3-4 knts, but up to 7 knts at one point. Lots of tankers, freighters and a cruise ship. Crew: Colin and Rob

Good winds starting in Burrard Inlet and continuing and building as we got into the Salish Sea. Sunny all day. Sea state was calm with only 1 foot waves most of the day. Had to wait for a cruise ship to transit First Narrows on the way back home.

Light winds on Burrard Inlet. Winds picked up as we got out into the Salish Sea. Crew: Jose and Satchi

Light winds in the Eastern portion of Burrard Inlet. Winds picked up just off Pt Atkinson with 10-12 knts further out in the Strait. Circumnavigated Passage Island with very light winds in between the mainland and Bowen Island. Very sunny, warm day. Crew: Mark Mensink

Light to moderate winds. Gusty. 2 ft chop at times. Lost a pole. Cruise ship and tanker traffic moderate. Forgot to unplug shore power! Plug came off. Windy docking conditions.

Sunny and warm with no rain. Surprisingly good sailing. We were maintaining 4-6 kn most of the time. The sea state was calm. We were joined by three orca whales who came along side the boat, then swam off our starboard from Lynnterm docks all the way to First Narrows. I motored away from them and kept a good distance between us.

Light winds all day. Calm seas. Speeds of only 3-5 kn. No rain.

Light winds to start, picking up in the afternoon . Speeds up to 7 kn, both on close haul and broad reach. Minimal tankers traffic, so longer tacks. Crew : Jose and Satchi

Light winds to start, rising over time. Got up to 7+ NM at times. Michel Drouin as crew.
