Part of our 2 week vacation in the waters of British Columbia - we made our way to Desolation Sound. The farthest north we ventured was to the Octopus Islands, anchoring there for a night. The trip in was beautiful passing through The Whole in the Wall passage at slack tide. The hike trailhead was a quick dinghy ride away to Waiatt Bay. The trail to Newton Lake took us about an hour to get up to the top with a few scrambles on the way up. Everything was well maintained and the DIY nature of the signs was picture perfect - they were a big help. The lake water was warm and clear. We got there in the late afternoon so the sun was hitting just right. This was the highlight of the trip for the kids - until we arrived at Prideaux Haven the next day!

Most sailing cruisers wait for the right sailing conditions before going anywhere. There are times, however, when the wind dies and you have to bite the bullet and put the engine on. Overall, however, fuel consumption is low. When we took 18 days to cross the Atlantic Ocean we only used 4 gallons of Diesel and most of that was for running the generator! As our Britican Experience guests says "It's all good!" Follow us for sailing cruiser updates, tips, how to's, and more! #sailingexperience #sailinglife #gotwind ?
