What a SPECTACULAR EASTER event! We had 11 boats - power, sail, monohull and multihull - all cruising the glorious Gulf Islands together. The rain gods stayed away for almost the entire trip, with the exception of the bonfire. We did get the bonfire warm enough to not worry about the rain.
Corus approaches dock at THETIS.
Raven Magic, Unprincipl'd and Simply Dreaming leave Thetis island headed for Dodd Narrows
None of us could pronounce Past Commodore Peter's boat name, so it was renamed "Eenie Meenie" (tender is Miny Mo)
The crews of GRYPHON and STRAY CAT contemplate life at sea over dinner at the floating Dinghy Dock Pub (some came aboard tender "Stray Kitten")
While the EASTER BUNNY had some trouble had trouble getting the fire started in the rain (umbrellas come in handy).... the end result was fantastic!
You can't find a better spot for an EASTER TREASURE HUNT -- a might treacherous however after the evening rains the night before
"Skipper the kayak coach" watches from the tender as the youngest crew members explore Silva Bay by kayak.
Be sure not to miss the next one: May LOOONGER weekend flotilla. Long weekends should be longer... ours is 5 days! Boats already booked to leave VANCOUVER and SIDNEY locations.
