I came back yesterday afternoon from 8 day cruising in the Gulf Islands. Fortunately my boat and I had no serious problem. The weather was mostly fine. The wind was not too strong. So, it was a perfect cruising and I enjoyed it very much. The course I took was as follows;
1st day: Vancouver - Porlier Path - Wallace Island
2nd day: Wallace Island - Telegraph Harbour - Pirates Cove
3rd day: Pirates Cove - Dodd Narrow - Nanaimo
4th day: Nanaimo - New Castle Island - Dodd Narrow - Clam Bay
5th day: Clam Bay - Sansum Narrows - Butchart Cove
6th day: Butchart Cove - Ganges Harbour
7th day: Ganges Harbour - Wallace Island
8th day: Wallace Island - Porlier Path - Vancouver
I will write about the details later.

Welcome back! While you were sailing, my husband and I were driving in the rain from New Jersey to upstate New York to attend a software conference. I mentioned to him as we drove that I was looking forward to hearing that you returned safely. I admire your courage and sense of adventure. I have friends who sail, but I am too afraid to venture out too far from land. Sometimes I wish there was a pill I could take to cure myself of such fears.
Glad you made it back in one piece.

Hi, Kathy. Thank you for your comment. Though I've just come back from overnight sailing, I'm already thinking of the next sailing. Insurance fee tells that sailing is safer than driving a car. I saw a lot of old couples who are enjoying cruising. So if you are interested in sailing, you don't have to fear of it.
