WHERE ARE WE?

Click on the link to maps.google.com in the latest post and follow our progress.

A message sent in the evening means we have been paddling and have reached a new place. A message sent in the morning means we are staying put.

If there is no SPOT message for a few days do not panic! SPOT is new technology and a glitch or two may happen. We have loads of back-up with VHF radios and EPIRB.

Congratulations, you've beat the tough West Coast. You can join the tall ships in Victoria now. Hope it was all you expected.

It was. We didn't get to see the Tall Ships as we took advantage of a fast flood past Esquimalt and Victoria but did have to dodge other boats.
