Headed to Alaska and off to a great start

5/10/2024 We are finally on our way. We left Van Isle Marina in Sidney, BC this morning with Telegraph Harbour on Thetis Island as our first stop. This is an easy four hour run to a nice family-owned marina that we have enjoyed many times. This is a great staging spot for tomorrow’s run through Dodd Narrows.

The solar storm that has caused Northern Lights across much of the world treated us to a display last night.

We use a program called Navionics for much of our navigation. I will use screenshots of our routes to help any who want to follow our progress. Here is our first day route.
