We left our Garmin InReach with the boat so we can We left our Garmin InReach with the boat so we can track her progress across the country. There is a storm coming to the Prairies later this week, so they are going to Ontario via Denver... I guess route options are limited when your vehicle is 12 feet wide and 14 feet high! You can follow Innisfree's progress via the "Where Are We Now?' link on our website.

Sidney Spit never fails to provide amazing sunsets Sidney Spit never fails to provide amazing sunsets. We sailed through the San Juan Islands and back to Canada today, 25-35 kt winds the whole way (only had our smallest jib up, and we were still going over 6 knots!). Happy to be at rest now, even though the anchorage is more windy and bouncy than tonight's forecast had predicted.
