Reunions with La Paz cruising friends (August/September, 2015)

At the end of August, friends Alena and Chris of SV Green Panther (who we last saw when they left La Paz in 2014, and who sailed across the Pacific to Australia) were visiting family in Portland, and drove up to Whistler for a 3-day backpack (Cheakamus Lake to Helm Creek to Taylor Meadows via Panorama Ridge to Rubble Creek).

A couple weeks later, friends Lance and Jennifer of SV Kylahi (currently in La Paz) drove from Edmonton to join us in Desolation Sound for 6 nights on Pelagia. This was their first trip sailing trip (well, motoring) to the protected waters of the south coast of B.C. Joining us also were Dee Dee and Bob, also friends from Marina Palmira in La Paz, on their boat SV Sunshine (which was shipped home at the same time as Pelagia).

Dinner on Pelagia in Desolation Sound: Bob (why so serious Bob?), Dee Dee, Lance, Jennifer & Michelle

We had a great time on these trips especially because our friends from cruising the Sea of Cortez joined us.

We'll give a little more information on these trips in posts to come.  

Desolation Sound cruising...

We are off cruising on Pelagia for the first few weeks of September, heading north to Desolation Sound.

Last time we were there (August, 2012), it was way too crowded. Will be interesting to see how it is in September.

Will post a report on our return.
