Sailing Away




Hello All, that's us in the cockpit of our boat, the Karen Marie, Too. Summer is almost here, and we're getting ready for a long three week cruise into Canada as our first outing this year. We'll be going to Princess Louisa Inlet to see Chatterbox Falls. The photos are amazing, and as one website says, "First you will wind your way along Jervis Inlet. Then through Malibu Rapids (at slack tide) and into the beauty of this breathtaking fabled inlet to roaring Chatterbox Falls, just 3.5 miles from the rapids. It's been described as a "flooded Yosemite Valley" complete with a half-dome mountain!" We'll be going with 7 other boats, all experienced boaters. We probably won't sail very much since the winds will be light, but we may get rain off and on. We call it the June Gloom around here, so the sunny weather we've having now is a reminder of how beautiful it is in the real summer months. We'll have rain gear and layers of clothes to cover all options of sun or showers.
More later as we finish the cruise. The Whidbey Wagners
