The Crew
The crew will change slightly as the trip unfolds. Leg 1 from home port of sidney to Port Hardy will be me, my wife Robin and our friend from Seattle Ralph. At Port Hardy we will be joined by Stewart from Calgary and Robin will leave us. She is not comfortable with the idea of rounding Cape Scott and being in the open Pacific..not yet anyway!
I met Ralph when I took an off-shore sailing course with Mahina Adventures where we sailed from the Queen Charolottes down to Friday Harbour in the San Juans. He has owned both sail and power boats and is a keen navigator. He teaches navigation to his local power squaderon. He also has a great collection of gizmos and will be arriving with sextant, fishing gear, crab net, and portable chart plotting capabilities. One of his challenges will be to get me up to speed on celistial navigation.
Stewart is a friend and work colleague(my ex-boss) from my days at Novacorp. He and another friend were my partners for the 5 years that we owned our Catalina 36. We have shared many sailing trips together.
Going around to the West side has been on the "TODO" list for some time and we are all keen to get started.
