We'll never forget when we sailed south off this coast back in September 2013 -- 48 hours of gales and "hazardous" steep seas combined with steering problems. Not fun.
MV Tiberborg appears to be experiencing even worse conditions, slowing its speed to less than 9 knots. But it is a large ship -- 172 m (L) x 20 m (B) -- so hopefully Pelagia and the other boats on deck are not having too rough of a trip.
Arrival in Chemainus delayed until late Sunday or Monday.

We are constantly torn between the mountains and the sea. This blog is an account of our sailing adventures, both in British Columbia and Mexico (2013-2015 trip to Mexico's Sea of Cortez), as well as our mountain adventures (including skiing in the Winter, hiking in the Summer/Fall, and trekking in Nepal). Hopefully this blog will provide you with helpful information on these topics (in addition to documenting our adventures). Welcome!
