I’m onboard with 2 mariners much more skilled than myself. Jason Corless and Lawrence Lewis.

Through yacht charter operator Island Cruising, we booked the Melissa Ruth for a 7-day cruise in the Salish Sea.

Where we’re going is constrained by the 7 days we have in hand, and the weather on offer during this part of mid-August. We’ll see! Heading out of Deep Cove this morning, under nice skies, and glassy water.

Depending on connectivity throughout the voyage, I’ll be posting a photo record for each day of the journey. Here is the photo gallery for Day 1.
