We spent Thursday night (July 15) in Smuggler’s Cove on the Sunshine Coast, one of our (and probably many boaters’) favourite anchorages in the Vancouver area. It gave us an opportunity to catch up one final time with good friends who were renting a cabin in Halfmoon Bay. On Friday, we sailed across to Jedediah Continue Reading

We officially moved back to Vancouver yesterday, and will have a view of a different marina for a few months as we get settled and find a new place to live.

Journey's End The last couple of days have seen u Journey's End

The last couple of days have seen us reminiscing and talking about the highlights of the last 5 years. It's been a bittersweet time. This morning we woke up just before dawn, raised the anchor as we have so many times before, and motored west in a gentle breeze and sunny weather. More stories, some laughs, and some tears.

At around 3 pm, we docked in Licata, which is where our sailing journey ends. Well, at least for now. We purchased Innisfree just over 5 years ago, undertook a major refit, packed up our lives, and set sail. 

We explored remote inlets and endless tropical beaches, woke up to whales beside the boat, and swam with sea turtles. We  crossed oceans, rode out violent storms, visited ancient cities, and climbed volcanoes. Most of all, wherever we went, we met amazing people and made some lifelong friendships. 

After 15,000 nm, it's time for a change of pace. Time for new challenges and familiar surroundings. It is time to return to Vancouver, reconnect with old friends, and spend more time with family. 

We've decided to put Innisfree up for sale. More to come on that and what's next. But for now, just a thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey. We feel so fortunate and grateful.
