BC, between Sechelt and Cortes island mostly, with occasional trips
further south and north. I have cruised most of the South Pacific
Islands, but love it here most.

nice! must be cold as hell there though...how long is your season?

---------------------------------------------------------
Season runs a long time. Is called the Sunshine Coast. I have not boated
that side of the straights but do boat the Vancouver Island side. Is a
protected area, as Vancouver Island has 6-7000' mountain range running up
the middle of the island. There are some warm water swimming areas as the
13' tides uncover large sand area that heat from the sun and warm the water
as it returns. Parksville where we normally stop for a night on our trips
will have 70 degree water on sunny days. Beautiful scenery as well as
decent fishing. Nice RV parks as well as reasonable B&B's to allow me to
suck up to SWMBO.

70 degree water is NOT warm! I don't get in my pool until it's over 80!

Damn straight, My yellow lab won't get in the pool when it is 70 ;-)- Hide quoted text -

If you waited for the ocean water on our Atlantic Coast to warm up to
70... you'd miss the summer.


I contemplated swimming in the water off Bar Harbor, Maine, once, and
walked in until the water got halfway to my knees. I knew right then and
there that that was as far as I dare go. And this was in August. Crikey!
