Summer 2026 Adventures So Far

Hi everyone,

I was asked to start to update this blog so that our two followers could see where we've been. So here we go.

We're already 21 days into it so I'll just do a quick catchup of where we've been so far.

Day 1: Kingston to Port Ludlow

We just anchored there for a night. Been there many times.

Day 2 & 3: Port Ludlow to Point Hudson Marina in Port Townsend, WA.

Day 4 & 5: Pt. Hudson to James Island in the San Juan Island, WA.

Day 6: James Island to Deer Harbor, Orcas Island, WA.

No pictures to show but we had a lovely time. We like the Deer Harbor Marina.

Day 7: Deer Harbor to Prevost Harbor, Stuart Island, WA.

No pictures, but great spot to be for an early crossing the next morning into Canada!

Day 8 & 9: Prevost Harbor to Poets Cove Marina, Bedwell Harbor, South Pender Island, B.C.

No pictures. We arrived on 1st July, CANADA DAY! Yay! Spent two nights there and did laundry and enjoyed ourselves.

Day 10 - 14: VICTORIA, B.C.

We stayed at the Causeway Marina which is directly in front of The Empress hotel.

Here we are passing Turn Point Lighthouse on our run to Victoria.

Day 15 & 16: Sidney and Port Browning

No pictures for either stop. Boring I know.

The Cruiser's Daily Logbook

Do you like using an old-school paper logbook? So do we! But I couldn't find one that had just the right amount of information. Most of the marine store generic logbooks are too sparse. They are mostly just blank journals, or have only the most basic information. The professional mariners logbooks have entirely too much information that we pleasure cruiser's just don't need. Our logbook is the Goldilocks version! It has all the information you would want to record about your cruises, plus it has plenty of space for you to write an account of your day. Click the picture below to go to The Cruiser's Daily Logbook at Lulu Press: The logbook has room for 60 days of cruising. It's a two-page spread with a stay-open coil binding. On the left side you have all the details of the day. On the right you have room for meals and water, plus a large amount of journal space. In the back are tables to record your fuelings, required emergency rad...
