Flew out of Minstrel Island in the early 80's for "Minstrel Air". At that time, the Carder family owned that building that you reference as you went by. It has certainly changed a lot since then!!! Flew all around that area for several years... thanks for bringing back some great memories.
Beautiful! We cruised your gorgeous islands for 20+ years in our Nordic Tug so it was a nostalgic trip with you two today. Just out of curiosity, what kind of o/b do you have on your dinghy? It really overpowers the audio of your beautiful videos.
8:33 I consider myself pretty knowledgeable on the types of boats that are out there but I've never seen that one before. It looks like a ocean crosser.
Incredible views. We got a taste of that beauty on our Alaskan cruise a number of years ago. Ray, was your Trawler a fishing boat in its previous life or always a pleasure boat?
it was build as an economical recreational cruising boat back in the 70s at a shipyard in Taiwan. Thousands under different names were built and many still out there.

Thanks Anne and Ray for taking us along. Cheers!
I used to work in that area. We went into Beware Passage and found a pictograph on a rock wall with a pretty clear image of an old sailing ship.
Enjoyed the video very much! It truly is "Beautiful BC".

Just stunningly beautiful....
Very nicely done! I have to admit, I'm a bit envious and wish I still had my boat. But one had to go and the RV won.... at least for now.
Thanks Ray! Like #32

It's a little 6HP Yamaha www.yamaha-motor.ca/en/water/outboard-motor/portable/f6-portable/F6-Portable
Nice, just Love it
Hey Ray,
I've watched you for a few years. Ouch, to your thumb. You and Anne are runnin a tight ship.
Funny thing is it doesn't hurt, must have hit it with a hammer when getting the boat ready but can't remember any major pain.

Does the low tides affect the water level very much in the inlets?
Yes, the difference between high and low can be as much as 18 feet here.
