Extreme caution downstream on the Fraser River as the Chilcotin River landslide has started releasing debris. Looks like we left on a sailing trip along the Sunshine Coast just in time.

As a result of increased drone traffic, a NOTAM has been put in place in the airspace over the Chilcotin #Landslide Area. The operation of any aircraft NOT ASSOCIATED with landslide response in this area, incl. unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs or drones), IS ILLEGAL. More info: emergencyinfobc.gov.bc.ca/ev… #BCFlood
We are excited to add the entire digital collection of cruising guides from @salishseapilot to our library. Great resource, check them out.
I hope I never tire of the sound of rain falling on the roof of our boat. So relaxing. #SailingLife #Liveaboard

A very tangible reminder of how important it is to ensure plastic and things like this are not in our oceans.

Our Best of Vancouver print edition circa 2004. 📰 Mark your calendars. Our 2023 version comes out Sept. 7 with one of our most epic covers yet. 👀
Great day for sailing in the Strait of Georgia! Moderate winds and following seas… #sailing – at Vancouver, British Columbia
First crab trap set. Ten years ago, if you told us we would be (attempting) catching our own crab from a sailboat we lived on, we wouldn't believe it. Long way from southern Ontario. Literally and figuratively. Great adventure. – at Sunshine Coast, British Columbia
The adventures of a not so awesome “professional” rebuild continue. So far, the heat exchanger cracked and the engine flooded with coolant stranding us in a busy nav channel and then this week the prop fell off. How does that happen? #DoTheWorkYourself #SailingLife #Liveaboard – at Sunshine Coast, British Columbia
Just because we live on a sailboat doesn't mean we have to “rough it” Dishy installed and working well. Thanks @SpaceX #internet #sailing #liveaboard

In the early morning Thursday, killer whales smashed into a sailboat off the southern coast of Spain, puncturing its hull and damaging its rudder. Spanish authorities raced to save the sinking vessel, according to Reuters, but it was in such disrepair it had to be towed ashore. wapo.st/3CbiJ4f

We are one day away from B.C. making Canadian history as the province is the first to decriminalize certain drugs. As of Jan. 31, it won’t be considered a crime if anyone 18 and older is in possession of up to 2.5 grams of illicit drugs. vancouver.citynews.ca/2023/0…

A large number of live crabs and fish were freed and returned to the waters where they were found. Help us protect our natural resources. If you see illegal #fishing, report it to us. ow.ly/qFMn50MEZNx
