    Thank you so much to Barry for agreeing to come with us on our maiden voyage, and re-introduce us to the tides in this part of the world! His channel is all about sailing a traditional wooden boat in these waters. It can be found here: www.youtube.com/@SailorBarry

    The way you guys finished the interior and the wood that was donated to you is sooo beautiful. It's even more special because your dad/dad in law helped fabricated that wood. All the detailing spent on making the interior look warm and beautiful was well worth it. This home is well and truly beautiful. congratulations ♥

    We have sailed the Salish Sea and north for over 20 years. Barry gives great advice. Planning is paramount. Then patience has to accompany planning. We once watched a small sailer in the Rosario Strait off James Island try to head north against the current. After a half hour with no progress, they had to turn around. There is no point is taking a sailing vessel against the currents in the rapids of Desolation Sound or the Broughtons to the north. You cannot avoid using your engine in this sailing ground. And, while an engine is necessary, it is not sufficient. Coming into Discovery Harbor Marina south of Seymour Narrows at Campbell River, it is easy to be swept by before you realize it. Barry gives the same good advice given by my pilot father: know, use and trust your instruments. When you anchor out, check the depths at low tides and plan accordingly.

    I have sailed for decades in the Menai Straits North Wales, UK. Tidal range is average 6.5 meters with big springs of near 10. Very tricky sailing in tidal streams of 4knots plus. We learn to work the tides and a passage round the island of Anglesey is dictated by tidal gates and very definitely the wind direction. Enjoy your cruise and enjoy this new dimension

  • @jerrym3261

    I remember seeing a couple of videos about a young woman that bought a sailboat for $1 while she was a university student at Squamish, BC. If you could just find her I'm sure she knows about sailing those waters. She was fearless and did amazing things.
    I always liked the quote, "sailors don't have plans, they have intentions."

    Great content, as a young sailer on duty as helmsman on a US submarine on the surface on passage to Nanaimo I came off order course ,attempting to correct it was not enough, from my experience it should have responded,well I was relieved ,I do remember the navigator defending me to the captain on the phone as I walked away, in shame ,explaining visious tidele currents

    • @SailorBarry

      Great story! Love that. Also the toque I’m wearing in this video is a 1940s USN watch cap. Also, recently encountered a USN submarine on my way to port Townsend, very cool! What speed can they go on the surface? The one I saw was going very fast.

  • @michaelphilip3919
    @michaelphilip3919 3 дня назад +1

    I grew up in Nanaimo boating and sport fishing my whole life. There used to tide and current table booklets you could get at just about any store and all boaters would have 3 or 4.
    1 on your boat
    1 in your car
    1 at home
    1 in your tackle box
    1 with your charts/atlas
    You get it , LOL
    Hope to see you at Thetis Island marina this week

    ... I like the wall paper...
    Sailor Barry nailed-it.
    Simple explanations, you can get fussy later!
    Sailor Barry is a great YT channel BTW.
    Yeah it can get tricky in many locations, even just out of Sand Heads some years ago we felt confident (we've done this before right...) but that day the current and wind were different, we missed lining-up to markers and ended-up in the mud!
    Lesson learned: Always pay attention.
    Also just south of Saturna the water can literally appear like it is boiling and your boat just get tossed around! Exciting and sobering at the same time.

  • @2olfarts811
    @2olfarts811 2 дня назад +1

    Oh so familiar, the tides! We began diving the PNW in the mid 70’s and sailing in the 90’s. The tides here build patience , skill and prepares you for worldwide conditions that can be rather challenging. Our son captains his boat from AK to Seattle through this area, twice yearly. The shorelines although beautiful, can be dangerous. There are a lot of changes in weather and tidal that can make it a long crossing from BC to AK. Paper charts are such a great resource when reception may be diminished or maybe non-working. Maybe not as accurate but a view of what can present a historical reference that you can use compasses and tools to plot your path. Whereas, the electronic navionics, provide real time. Complicated with the tugs, tankers, CG, fishing boats, ferries, and sailors, it can be fun. The same for the open straits like Dixon. Throughout the journey, there are always great areas to hide out. Being that there is a lag in video time and reality, I’m guessing you are discovering the NW winter. Stay warm and enjoy.

  • @davidwarren9204
    @davidwarren9204 3 дня назад +2

    Sailed a fifty foot steel yacht from Townsville to Darwin (Australia), and that whole area has massive tides, strong currents (many faster than we could sail or motor), reefs and areas where the charts are poor. Properly timing our passages for tides and currents was vitally important and at times surprisingly complex.

    @WilliamBell-t8k 2 дня назад +1

    Kyle Rhea between mainland Scotland and Skye is always fun. I once went through south to north on a spring tide, about 7 knots with 20 knots of wind pushing us through. It is quite narrow in places, about 200 metres. I have never seen the land rushing past us so fast in my life! Bill

  • @todddunn945
    @todddunn945 3 дня назад +1

    Good explanation from Barry. Now throw in 50' fog and tens of thousands of lobster traps to avoid and you have sailing on the Maine coast. The Bay of Fundy is even more fun. Reversing Falls at the entrance to the Saint John River in New Brunswick is easy at slack, but you can really stress yourself if you look at it away from Slack. Once you are through the Saint John river valley is idyllic. I look forward to seeing your first passage on the new boat, particularly since my boat is in the shed for the winter.

    Looking at that map brings back memories. My mom was born and raised in Chemainus and my dad went to high school in Ladysmith. Both of their fathers worked in the lumber mills in Chemainus and in Nanaimo. We used to take my sister's father-in-law's fishing boat out from Nanaimo Harbour into the straight to fish for salmon. I'm glad now I knew none of this and that my brother-in-law did all the piloting.

    @jwwebnaut7045 День назад +1

    Hi folks, there is one aspect that hasn't been taken into account here, and that's the factor (calendar) time. My home grounds were the Dutch Waddenzee, tidal waters with sandbanks interspersed with channels. The point is that the topography changes rapidly, and last year's charts are outdated and unusable. For me as a student, having to buy a new set of charts every year was quite a financial burden, but it has to be. So, for these waters, keep your charts, wether printed out digital up to date! That said, there's nothing so exhilarating as planning and proceeding with a trip in these most challenging sailing grounds.

    When I moved my boat from Warwick RI to Winthrop MA, I studied the needed times for slack flow for the Cape Cod Canal. I should have included exiting Narragansett Bay, too!
    The Catalina 310 bow did go under the rollers a few times while exiting. Fortunately, the winds were quite light at that time.

  • @petegraham1458
    @petegraham1458 3 дня назад

    Very good summary, I have sailed these waters and ones to the north they are incredibly beautiful but challenging navigation wise, not many easy routes, planning is of utmost importance and comprise ( it well be fine ) leads to dangerous sailing . His advice about thinking twice about your heading and not getting what we called. “Screw-Gee” to the required transit course was an important bit of coaching , a moments in attention and it’s happening!
    Can’t wait to follow along and see some of the familiar points of call!

  • @jpdj2715
    @jpdj2715 3 дня назад

    What a nice surprise, this extra video, and Barry. While it is extremely valuable to have him as coach, I think that sailing the Rhône and Rhine rivers up North through Europe, with a few channels in between has had its eddies and current challenges too. Without a tidal predictability. No, that region you are into now is not easier, just different. Looking forward to the video stories.
    Wooden ...
    Crosby, Stills, Nash, with Neil Young released an album about 1970 called 4 Way Street. After several songs with acoustic guitars and close harmony or almost a capella or unplugged, or, they play a few pieces with electric guitars. After which they play "wooden music" again.
    Beautiful, beautiful. Yes, and wood in or wooden boats too.

    This is great information and it leads me to another question. I believe that the difference between high and low tide in the area you will be sailing in can be over 12 feet. How do you tie up your boat if you are not at a marina with floating docks. Another similar question is if there is projected to be a storm surge of 12 feet, how do you tie up your boat?

    • @SailingMagicCarpet

    Hi great News the maiden trip will be very soon! Just want to let you know about the Navionics charts… i love them to plan routes and the easy way of use BUT be carefull with the tidal arrows especially the time! When i was sailing near the Frech coast ( Channel Islands, Cherbourg, Le Havre…) the timing what was showed On the Navionics was not correct. So please always check with local navigation information !!! So i would be nice to hear if you have the same issues over there!
    So please be aware that there can be a fault in Navionics with the tidal-arrows.
    Have a safe trip and fair sinds 😊

  • @kimwickens4367
    @kimwickens4367 3 дня назад

    I just want to mention that i feel like tide and current are being used interchangeably in this video, which they are not. When the tide is transitioning from high to low or low to high, the time of the slack for the current typically occurs at a different time. For one example i just looked at, the difference in time between the tidal change and the current slack is 35 minutes. Trying to pass through some tidal gates 35 minutes after slack could be bad. Your boat looks amazing!!!

    wouldn't it be fantastic in this wonderful day and age of electronics gadgetry and wizardry to have a simple overlay on electronic maps giving a route to take through various narrow waters where tides etc are an issue, but taking into account all the factors of tides and winds etc - i mean it can't be that difficult can it - even if you have to put some of the data in yourself, winds and direction - if the tides are correct and deep enough to sail, you get a green line to follow, if its flashing red, then its not - i watched some epic videos showing all kinds of navigation gear on the 'nautiguys' channel, it will blow your mind and possibly your budget - underwater sonar can give you live feed as normal, but this can be uploaded to keep maps up to date
