Boating in the San Juan Islands | Around Shaw Island

With a few days (in a row) of spring weather and a few days off from work, I decided to seize the opportunity to get away.  I didn’t really feel like going very far, and even though I’ve spent a lot of time cruising the San Juans, there are quite a few places I’ve motored past on the way to other destinations.

So I came up with a “plan”.  I’d take a ride around Shaw Island…  and take three days to do it.

Shaw Island is a rural island community in the San Juan Islands with a population of 165.  The total land area is 7.7 square miles, and aside from a seasonal grocery store, the island has no commercial amenities.

In my latest video, I visit three popular anchorages on Shaw Island in the most pleasant spring weather to visit some familiar spots and a few new to me.  Thanks for watching!

Cruising Desolation Sound: Episode 4

The fourth episode brings the exciting conclusion to my Cruising Desolation Sound series. In this episode, our little flotilla visits Tribune Bay at Hornby Island before turning toward home.

I really enjoyed shooting and creating this video series showing highlights from an absolutely wonderful trip.  The videos show only a glimpse into the good times with good friends.  I hope you enjoyed following along.

Cruising Desolation Sound: Episode 3

In the third episode of my Cruising Desolation Sound series, we set out to look for a new anchorage and make some friends along the way.  We live the “resort life” at Gorge Harbour for a day before returning to anchor at Tenados Bay.  As the trip begins to wind down, we start toward home…  I hope you’ve enjoyed these videos – stay tuned as Episode 4 is just around the corner!

Cruising Desolation Sound: Episode 1

I’ve just returned from a wonderful trip cruising to Desolation Sound.  We were blessed with great weather – although a little smoky at the beginning, due to the wildfires in the BC Interior.

My cameras captured parts of the journey, and I’m excited to present the first episode of the multi-part series.  “Stay tuned” for next video in the series to follow along with the fun!

I hope you enjoy this video and the others that will follow in the series, as I continue to learn more about shooting, editing, and storytelling through video.
