Sailing to the Past: Meeting the Builders of the Haunted Boat from Dead Man's Island. Sailor Barry

Join us for a special journey as we sail from Gabriola Island to Salt Spring Island, where we meet the original builders of our beloved wooden sailboat! In this episode, we delve into the incredible story of our boat's origins, built on the historic Dead Man's Island-a site with a dark and intriguing past. We get a personal tour and a slideshow from the builders, learning about the boat's unique launch in the 70s, thanks to the Navy Reserve. Discover the fascinating history of Dead Man's Island, from its Indigenous heritage to its role in Vancouver's history, including its use as a burial ground and its connection to significant events. We also share our heartfelt experience of thanking the builders for their craftsmanship and enjoying our time on Salt Spring Island before heading back to Gabriola.
