Alfy, Andy here. You make me homesick. I lived in Campbell River and sailed a lot there too. But I never went up North from there. I am considering earnestly, to sail from Spain not to New Zealand but to beautyful B.C. again and up North to you're area. I have never found another place like the large B.C. Coast. I always tell my Swiss Familiy and Friends, that there, the Forrest grows right down to the Ocean and that you can see Wildlife in such a way that we Europeans and Immigrants, cannot speak highly enough from it. Thank you very much, for your Videos, they bring me home again. Cheers Andy
Stunning images. Even though we have cruised the BC west coast including the west coast of Vancouver and Haida Gwaii we enjoyed you visual review immensely.
Yes, we have. Could have happily spent the rest of our lives there but for some reason have been called to Norway for a while. Keep reminder us why we MUST come back.
If you ever need a deckhand for a short trip.I’ve gone up and down the coast probably 10 times. I love your boat and your channel. I’m at Shelter Island and an longing to sail
My first sail ever on a canadian minesweeper was up the inside passage. Being 18 years old and away from home for the first time, I was blown away by the beauty and the serenity of the west coast.
Awesome video and very helpful info! We are new owners of an ‘81 C&C 34 based in Comox. I’m envious of your extra overhead hatch, opening porthole in the head and electric windlass:-) I’m going to watch your video on maintenance next. Hope to see you out there!
Congrats on the new boat! Yes is has been nice to have that opening hatch in the head and I spent a lot of years hauling that anchor before the windlass install. So glad I made that upgrade, it has been a game changer for cruising! Always nice when C&C 34s get to meet so I'll keep a watch for you. :)
After seeing your video we're inspired to take this trip. We're in North Carolina so it would be a major challenge. Thank you for the inspiration. We love your videos!
Hey Alfy, I agree with the other comments what a beautiful of montage of film clips!! And Yes the clip of your Dad and and his big smile are GREAT ! I lost my Dad three months ago and to know that he will never be with me fishing and boating and doing all the things that we loved to do together is really tough !!! Make all the beautiful memories you can !!!!!! Jerry
Thank you and so sorry to hear about your loss. :/ I know to cherish all the moments I can while I can and I will always do my best to do just that! All the best to you and your family. :)
If you keep shooting videos like this with great scenery. I most definitely will be following you Everytime.... keep up the great work and good luck with your adventures
I've grown up on the west coast on an island called Gambier. Now as I'm nearing 50, my plan is to do a couple of shake downs up to Alaska before heading out around the world. My plan is to visit all nine hotsprings on the west coast and I'm glad you featured one! Liked and subbed! Bryan from Vancouver
Hello Bryan! I have been to Gambier a few times. :) Sounds like you have a great plan ahead and the hot springs are always a treat! We have plans to show more of the hot spring locations along the coast. :) Thanks for the like and sub!
Thanks for the information about the currents in the channels and the places to stop. Love your videos 'cause you are in the extension of my backyard. I love the rain and the PNW
Alfy, you’re very lucky to have wildlife like that on your doorstep, not sure I would be too happy to be onshore in Grizzly country. Great shot of your Dad 23:27
It's nice to hear you talk more, I've missed that. Your narration is very interesting to those of us who are more power boat oriented, and also live on the other side of the country. God bless and fair winds to ya.
Glad you enjoyed this episode and whether we are power boaters or sailboaters the main thing is we are all out enjoying time on the water. :) Fair winds to you as well!
Just starting my own full time liveaboard journey :) Tayana 37. Explored the coast a lot for work but never by sail, very solid video! Great tips and excellent photography skills. Cya out there! - JP
I wish I had the wherewithal to put a season's cruise video together half as good as you. I cruised Nova Scotia and SW Newfoundland this summer and maybe took 25 pictures in all. Thanks for sharing and love your work.
I am so glad to hear you got out cruising so much and maybe in time you'll start taking more photos! If not, the main thing is that you are out making great memories on the water! :) So glad you enjoy the films!
Very thorough and thoughtful video, as always. Fascinated by nice sceneries, thank You. Well, we're very lucky to live in the Best Place On Earth, aren't we? )))
i hope the cruising on the west coast isn't singular as your first mate is a welcome part of your cruising as well as all of your family. Thank you all for sharing.
Beauty video eh. I retired in October and have been travelling the canals of England vicariously via RUclips. One of the Tubers recommended your site. I've passed this one on to an Aussie couple, former narrowboaters that are now sailing from Panama to Alaska. Their Vlog is "life in a nutshell". Also, I liked your video about the VRC. I played Rugby for the San Francisco Rugby Club for 28 years. We had a traditional tour to play the VRC from the 70's through the 90's. We would go up on Memorial Weekend (U.S.) and they would come down to SF in November (Victoria Day?). Anyway, it was nice to get some history on the VRC. Cheers. P.S. My great grandfather was from outside St. Claire, Ontario before immigrating the U.S. (Whoo-Hoo).
Thank you and so glad you have found the channel! That is great that you are familiar with VRC, it is such a great club to be part of and although I ma not in Vancouver at the moment, I have kept my membership there. I know that VRC has a long history of rugby and great to hear about your involvement with that. :) I'll check out that Aussie couple's channel, thanks for that info!
Always a delight to watch and take in the beauty you capture of our west coast. Love your playlist. Great choice in music selection! Look forward to more adventures.
I've had this video on my watch list for a long time and finally managed to watch it. I have to say, that scenery is just stunning! Some day I will sail there. 😝 And some way it's also very familiar. It's like combining Finnish archipelago to Norway and add ocean wildlife and indians to it. 😃
In my youth My father owned a couple of commercial salmon trawlers. I got to experience most of the coast we never did the inside passage instead did the run in the open over the Goose Island bank (that's where the fish where). For whatever reason a lot of sailors avoid the west coast of Vancouver Island and the Haida Gwaii. Too bad as these where the most memorable places I have ever been.
Great video, what Brand/model heater is behind you, and what fuel does it use. We are planning on buying a Trawler to live aboard and cruise in these waters - heat available year round is necessary. Lived in Seattle and sailed these waters in the 70's. Thanks, Mark & Jane
Thanks and glad you enjoyed this episode! Check out my 'How I Heat my Boat' episode and it explains the heater in detail. ruclips.net/video/_IdnW15fnns/видео.html
Thank you! Unfortunately I have sailed less since being in this area mostly due to the amount of time off I have been able to get vs. the large distances I have to travel to show you all the amazing places around here. Although the films don't always accurately show the realities of sailing vs. motoring I would say about 30% to 40% is spent under sail. When I get more time off to do these trips I'll definitely be doing less motoring and just take more time to get places. :)
Nice video. Can you describe the portion of your time in these waters that you are under sail vs power? Are you ever in a situation that you are pointing?
Never been but looks a fantastic place to own a boat with all those islands & inlets to explore, if you don't mind the cold that is. It reminds me of a massive version of Scotland to look at but it is on a similar lateral line so I suppose their will be similarities. Do you cruise all year round? Over here in the east UK most have their boats out of the water now til April. I try to get out regularly in the winter. As I often say to some what's winter to us is normal to others!
Thanks for the video! Can you tell me how to find the resource you used for recommended anchorages? That's definitely something I want guidance on I think. Ive been up and down the whole coast many times commercial fishing and not that I bought a sailboat, I plan to keep doing it but for pleasure from now on!
Glad you enjoyed it. Good books are the Sailing Directions for the BC Coast. I think there are 4 volumes. Great to hear you want to keep enjoying the coast on your own boat now! :)
Great vid Alfy! Thx for the tips. I plan to sail the inside passage next summer. Im wondering who made your enclosure?, roughly how old is it, how long you expect to last? How much was it and are windows polycarbonate ?also, what length of all chain rode would you recommend for a 37 foot sailboat for this journey? Thxxxx!
Thank you! Great that you plan to take the Inside Passage! The enclosure came with the boat when I purchased it. It is approximately 11-13 years old now I think. I have 75ft of chain and 325ft of rope, but you could probably be ok with 50ft of chain and 250ft of rope. I went a little extra with both for a little extra insurance. :)
Hi there ,. Great video , I plan to come to vancouver sometime in August and I am previously a vancouver resident . Do you provide ride along experience for a fee ? Would I be able to sail with you if you are going out for few days sailing around BC from vancouver ?
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately we don't do any charter type services with our boat, but there are some companies in Vancouver that do. :)
@@lifeislikesailing thanks for your response. I have found one or two people who offer 2-3 hour sail experiences , but I am looking to stay on board for 3-6 days ans experience living on board for a short period .. do you know anyone or company that offers that? There are many such offers in Greece and Europe, but I have not found one in vancouver or BC ....
Hey Alfie I made new youtube channel... My other name is Walker Rari I been watching all your videos from Vancouver Island....your cool man lol good content.. i will sail up there in the summer visit friends in PR
will check it out.. ahh I miss prince rupert havent been up in a few years it is beautiful and the rain doesnt bug me it rains in Victoria too. One time on digby it rained harder probaly the hardes ive ever felt and we were laughing because running from the path to the boat I looked like I had jumped into the ocean with my clothes on and I had previously stated I didint think Id need rain gear for that little walk lol Do you just ,moore anually at Cow? its quite reasonable there,, al;so your crusing a 32? How do you find that for space if you were to do it again would you go bigger or keep it the same cheers
Left anchorage this morning, light winds, have to beat, 43 year old sails...nope! Back to anchorage🤣
Thanks for keeping me company 😃👍🏻❤
Hope you can get back out soon!
Good god this man knows how to frame a shot. Incredible quality.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it! :)
He sure does! Fantastic production!!!
Shout out to Sullivan Bay and the best homegrown I've ever smoked in my life.
Alfy, Andy here. You make me homesick. I lived in Campbell River and sailed a lot there too. But I never went up North from there.

Thank you very much, for your Videos, they bring me home again. Cheers Andy
You are welcome and so glad you enjoy the channel. I hope you will make it here again one day. It sure is an amazing place to sail and explore!
An excellent compilation of shots of course but also very useful context for people like me who are thousands of miles away. Nice one.
Thank you David!! I enjoy talking about the area so I am glad you enjoyed listening! ha
Like wise for me, I live on Haida Gwaii and watch your videos of the Canals in England.
Michael from Sunny Sandspit
always love seeing her sail full :)
So I miss home now, time to head back.
Love this channel so much. It's like a lifestyle commercial but without the people selling you useless garbage.
Thank you and so glad you enjoy the content and the genuine presentation! :)
12:40 is the best advice anyone can give or take. Spares for the spare for the backups spare.
Stunning images. Even though we have cruised the BC west coast including the west coast of Vancouver and Haida Gwaii we enjoyed you visual review immensely.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed this one. :) Sound like you have seen some amazing areas of BC so far! :)
Yes, we have. Could have happily spent the rest of our lives there but for some reason have been called to Norway for a while. Keep reminder us why we MUST come back.
Well enjoy Norway while you are there! We also got called away for a short time, but will be back to the coast asap! :)
Once again you hit it out of the park Alfy. That closing montage was, IMHO, one of your best yet. Greetings from North Saanich
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed this one so much from you place in Saanich!
I can only dream of your journey but dream I do through your absolutely stunning videos. Many many thanks for sharing with us all. Best from HKG
I am so glad that you can experience my travels through the films and I always appreciate your kind comments! Fair winds from Canada's West Coast!
If you ever need a deckhand for a short trip.I’ve gone up and down the coast probably 10 times. I love your boat and your channel. I’m at Shelter Island and an longing to sail
Your outro starting from around 21:04 was just awesome and extremely well put together.
Thank you captain.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it!! Alfy
Nice to put a face to the boat; I see Moonshine at the marina all the time. I'll come say hi now.
Looking forward to it. :)
My first sail ever on a canadian minesweeper was up the inside passage. Being 18 years old and away from home for the first time, I was blown away by the beauty and the serenity of the west coast.

Great plan and good luck! :)
Amazing! What a beautiful country to sail in. Thank you for the 25 minutes of dreaming :)
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it!!

Beautiful area thanks for sharing great and informative video.
Thank you and really glad you enjoyed this episode!!
Awesome video as usual. It's so beautiful up north. Love to get up there someday .
Thank you! I hope you will make it to this area one day!!
Wonderful, really wonderful. So jealous.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it!
Good information. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for the great info. I hope to cruise that region one day and this was very informative.
You are welcome and I hope you get to this area one day!
Really an epic video, Alfy. Can’t see there could be a better way to present the beauty of Canada’s westcoast. Stunning.
Thank you and so glad you enjoyed it!! :)
Thanks for the information about the currents in the channels and the places to stop. Love your videos 'cause you are in the extension of my backyard. I love the rain and the PNW
SO glad you enjoyed this episode and other episodes! I always say that 'some people feel the rain, others just get wet'. :)
Another GREAT video! I can't wait to make the trip. This next spring.
Thanks Vern!! Super exciting that you will do the trip next spring!
Alfy, you’re very lucky to have wildlife like that on your doorstep, not sure I would be too happy to be onshore in Grizzly country.
Great shot of your Dad 23:27
I agree that I am so lucky to have that! I really like that shot of my dad as well! :)
It's a beautiful landscape there. Much the same as here in Norway. And rain? We had 290+ days with rain last year here in Bergen.
Sounds like we have similar rainfall! ha
It's nice to hear you talk more, I've missed that.
Your narration is very interesting to those of us who are more power boat oriented, and also live on the other side of the country.
God bless and fair winds to ya.
Glad you enjoyed this episode and whether we are power boaters or sailboaters the main thing is we are all out enjoying time on the water. :) Fair winds to you as well!
Endless dream... Thanks and please continue to share your trips
So glad you enjoyed it!!

Thanks and glad you enjoyed the video. Good luck with the journey! :) We now have s/v Norther Dancer V if you are watching out for us. :)
Wow very impressive well done! I like the balance of the beauty aspect and information. I really enjoyed this!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed this episode as it is one of my favourites! :)
Nice video, looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.
I wish I had the wherewithal to put a season's cruise video together half as good as you. I cruised Nova Scotia and SW Newfoundland this summer and maybe took 25 pictures in all. Thanks for sharing and love your work.
I am so glad to hear you got out cruising so much and maybe in time you'll start taking more photos! If not, the main thing is that you are out making great memories on the water! :) So glad you enjoy the films!
Indeed,it is magic!
It sure is a great coast!
Thank you both!! 👍
You are more than welcome! :)
Very thorough and thoughtful video, as always. Fascinated by nice sceneries, thank You. Well, we're very lucky to live in the Best Place On Earth, aren't we? )))
So glad you enjoyed this episode! We sure are lucky to live on this amazing planet!! :)
i hope the cruising on the west coast isn't singular as your first mate is a welcome part of your cruising as well as all of your family. Thank you all for sharing.
I am sure the first mate will be along for more trips! ;) Oh, and for sure my kids and father as well! :) Glad you enjoyed it!
Beauty video eh. I retired in October and have been travelling the canals of England vicariously via RUclips. One of the Tubers recommended your site. I've passed this one on to an Aussie couple, former narrowboaters that are now sailing from Panama to Alaska. Their Vlog is "life in a nutshell". Also, I liked your video about the VRC.

Another winner Alfy, thanks...
Thank you!
I am looking forward to following your path..thank you
Glad you will be following along! Stay tuned for hopefully many more years of sailing! :)
Awsome video
Beautiful photography Alfy! I would love to visit Prince Rupert area someday. But at least I can see it through you.....Thanks!
Thank you!! I hope you will make it this way one day!!
Always a delight to watch and take in the beauty you capture of our west coast. Love your playlist. Great choice in music selection! Look forward to more adventures.
I've had this video on my watch list for a long time and finally managed to watch it.
I have to say, that scenery is just stunning! Some day I will sail there. 😝
And some way it's also very familiar. It's like combining Finnish archipelago to Norway and add ocean wildlife and indians to it. 😃
Glad you enjoyed this episode and hope that you will get to explore the area yourself one day. :)
Just wonderful, thanks so much for taking the time to share. As others have said, STUNNING
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it! :)
In my youth My father owned a couple of commercial salmon trawlers. I got to experience most of the coast we never did the inside passage instead did the run in the open over the Goose Island bank (that's where the fish where). For whatever reason a lot of sailors avoid the west coast of Vancouver Island and the Haida Gwaii. Too bad as these where the most memorable places I have ever been.
I definitely have plans to go to Haida Gwaii and the West coast of Vancouver Island. I think they will both be amazing! :)
Maravilloso tu video y tu viaje por este escenario natural único... mis saludos desde la parte opuesta del mundo... sur Patagonia..
And as you know the full enclousure adds tremendously to safety when you don't have to contend with personal discomfort, wind , rain in your eyes etc.
It sure makes cruising in our wet and colder climate nicer and safer!! :)
Excellent editing synchronized with the music
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the editing with the music!
Thank you for sharing you adventure. We thoroughly enjoyed this video. Dave & Linda M/S Olivebank S/V Banyanda
You are welcome and glad you enjoyed it. :)
Canada is beautiful; I need to go there
We welcome you with open arms friend
Hi, i've really enjoyed this vídeo. Thank you a lot. Greetings from Venezuela.
Hello from Canada and so glad you enjoyed this episode!
Great Video Alfy! Good mix of information and video... as long as it was I wish it was longer it was so enjoyable.
Thank you and glad you enjoyed the information!! Wish I could have made it longer for you all! :)
Well done Alfie!!!
Thank you!!
Nicely done.
Thank you!
What a fantastic video. Great job!
Thank you!!
Great video, what Brand/model heater is behind you, and what fuel does it use. We are planning on buying a Trawler to live aboard and cruise in these waters - heat available year round is necessary. Lived in Seattle and sailed these waters in the 70's. Thanks, Mark & Jane

Hello from Kitimat! Great video
Hello! Kitimat is a great spot and we hope to get the boat there eventually for a visit. :). So glad you enjoyed this episode! :)
Well done , thanks.
Thank you!
Great 👍 video again!
Thank you!
Fascinating video! One of your best.... Question: what percentage do you depend on the wind vs using your engine for propulsion?
Clifford Davies thats what I was wondering,,, the videos show hes always on an inside passage motoring. Maybe he camcords mostly when motoring
Thank you! Unfortunately I have sailed less since being in this area mostly due to the amount of time off I have been able to get vs. the large distances I have to travel to show you all the amazing places around here. Although the films don't always accurately show the realities of sailing vs. motoring I would say about 30% to 40% is spent under sail. When I get more time off to do these trips I'll definitely be doing less motoring and just take more time to get places. :)

Awesome vid Alfy
Thank you!
Awesome
Thank you!
Have you ever visited Point Roberts (south of Tsawwassen)? Looks like a great little marina there.
I have driven there, but not sailed to it. Yes it sure is nice. :)
Never been but looks a fantastic place to own a boat with all those islands & inlets to explore, if you don't mind the cold that is. It reminds me of a massive version of Scotland to look at but it is on a similar lateral line so I suppose their will be similarities. Do you cruise all year round? Over here in the east UK most have their boats out of the water now til April. I try to get out regularly in the winter. As I often say to some what's winter to us is normal to others!

Ive been up and down the whole coast many times commercial fishing and not that I bought a sailboat, I plan to keep doing it but for pleasure from now on!
Glad you enjoyed it. Good books are the Sailing Directions for the BC Coast. I think there are 4 volumes. Great to hear you want to keep enjoying the coast on your own boat now! :)
👍 All the way from Denmark.
Thank you!
Great vid Alfy! Thx for the tips. I plan to sail the inside passage next summer. Im wondering who made your enclosure?, roughly how old is it, how long you expect to last? How much was it and are windows polycarbonate ?also, what length of all chain rode would you recommend for a 37 foot sailboat for this journey? Thxxxx!
Thank you! Great that you plan to take the Inside Passage! The enclosure came with the boat when I purchased it. It is approximately 11-13 years old now I think. I have 75ft of chain and 325ft of rope, but you could probably be ok with 50ft of chain and 250ft of rope. I went a little extra with both for a little extra insurance. :)
👍👍👍
Beautiful rugged country. Does it rain? Haha ...
It sure is beautiful here! maaaybe it rains a little ;) ha
Will a Neel 45 trimaran a good fit for the narrow passage?
Hi there ,.
Great video , I plan to come to vancouver sometime in August and I am previously a vancouver resident . Do you provide ride along experience for a fee ? Would I be able to sail with you if you are going out for few days sailing around BC from vancouver ?
Thank you and glad you enjoyed it. Unfortunately we don't do any charter type services with our boat, but there are some companies in Vancouver that do. :)
@@lifeislikesailing thanks for your response. I have found one or two people who offer 2-3 hour sail experiences , but I am looking to stay on board for 3-6 days ans experience living on board for a short period .. do you know anyone or company that offers that? There are many such offers in Greece and Europe, but I have not found one in vancouver or BC ....
Hey Alfie I made new youtube channel... My other name is Walker Rari I been watching all your videos from Vancouver Island....your cool man lol good content.. i will sail up there in the summer visit friends in PR
I have a 2700 maxim 350 engine, any input?

I haven't seen any here.
Im looking for a boat now you have any sugestions? can I get a nice boat for 10? what are your thoughts Id like 32 minimum pref 36
I'd say too at www.yachtworld.com to get a good idea what is available on the market. :)

One time on digby it rained harder probaly the hardes ive ever felt and we were laughing because running from the path to the boat I looked like I had jumped into the ocean with my clothes on and I had previously stated I didint think Id need rain gear for that little walk lol
