I didn't expect the Sea Ray to move until at least April or May. Oh well...now I should be in Glacier Bay by then.

And you reckon 20hp will get you how far up the beach?

Just another form of taxation. Here “residents” have to be certified but any clown can get off a plane from the middle of the Sahara, bare boat a 40 footer and cruise some of the most treacherous waters on the planet.

Let's see if this works... https://www.dropbox.com/s/r1g4fzqsy3uxzfr/BC%20Boom.jpg?dl=0

Another Vancouver in '85. They are just building the "Skytrain." Cambie bridge and BC Place are brand new. Sawmills and sailboats still co-existed. Oops. Sorry, I guess my pic storage is full at 2 pics and I can't delete an old one.

To give you an idea; until the very late 1960s Lions Bay was a small collection of summer homes accessed by a gravel road. Howe Sound was pretty much like Jervis Inlet is today. The pics below of Vancouver in '85 tells you so much...still haven't figured how to do pics on here so you only get 1...

My first job, at 16, was running water taxi out of Lund BC The only "instruments" were a compass and annual tide book. More than once I didn't make it back for school on a Monday.

Funny, works on my PC and phone but not laptop with latest flash player. I'll play around. Anyway, nice to see your neighbour finally took in his garbage cans.

Hmmm... Says I need the latest flash player but I have that. I'll try on another machine. Thanks.

Haven't been able to see your snocam for a week or two. Is it me or you?

Only those who have plied the waters of the rugged west coast will truly appreciate this tale. I was just reminiscing with another ancient mariner about our life in the 40s & 50s on the coast of British Columbia. In particular, the old CPR and Union steamships that made regular weekly runs...

"Expert" advisor's are paid good bucks to be on set advising how real cops use weapons, how surgeons tie sutures, how to use an aircraft or marine radio. Hollywood seldom listens, so you get pilots and skippers saying "10-4 over and out."

When you're a boater you notice these things in boating films. When you work in the film industry you see these things in all movies. There are a number of "continuity" errors in Titanic but, if you want to see some painful nautical goofs take a look at All Is Lost with Robert Redford.

Nice. I can't imagine not being able to boat year round. Thanks for the lowdown on your little piece of paradise.

No threat there. Seems silly to go all the way across the country when I can just saunter down the coast a bit to the Portland zoo.

In general, Robalo is ok. They have been around for quite a while and it is a decent “entry level” boat. Never met a Whaler I liked so I won’t state my bias there. I did run one with a 150 Yamaha in Exuma a few years ago. I don’t recall a number on it but they said it was a 19. It moved; really...

I’ve seen Lake Norman NC referenced a few times and was curious enough to look it up. Living on close to 20,000 miles of coast, which is impossible to see in a lifetime, Lake boating is not something I’ve done much of: Lake Powell UT which is pretty spectacular and Lake Havasu, the boater’s...

It's KnotEasy math.

Thanks for posting that. I am befuddled at how sloppy people are online with personal information, pictures, potential slanderous material and just plain dumb crap that they should be embarrassed about. Facebook is a cancer and I am happy to not be a part of it. Even in light of the publicity...

The 100 million is the reported portion.
