About Us

My photo
We are friends who share a love of boating~~Doug, Margie, Ginnie, Torben & Chester (our 5 year old Havanese, pictured in Ginnie's lap) on Main Attraction, a 56 foot Navigator, and Margi & Doug on Bowhaus, a 36 foot Grand Banks. From mid-May through mid-August 2016, we are embarking on the longest cruise of our life times. This is the summer of our Grand Alaskan Adventure. We've been planning for months and now we are ready!

Wednesay May 25th--Lagoon Cove to Port McNeill & Sointula

Bowhaus with Main Attraction Close Behind
Transiting the Clio Channel at 6 AM Thursday
Had an early but easy time getting to Port McNeill and Sointula. Sointula is on Malcolm Island just 3 miles from Port McNeill.  That's where Main Attraction is awaiting some marine work tomorrow morning,  Bowhaus is tucked away at Port McNeill and we plan to join them there on Saturday Alert Bay (by ferry) tomorrow.  This is new territory for all of us and a major jumping off point for crossing the Queen Charlotte Strait when heading north.  We plan to do that on Tuesday, weather and repairs permitting. 

Tarkanen Marine is the only marine repair shop in the area

The Sointula Co-Op has a good selection of food and other supplies

The bakery is excellent.  Guess what T is sipping from that coffee cup?
Hint:  Not coffee and he bought it at the co-op which also has
a liquor agency.
