Videos from our summer months spent boating in and around the Broughton Archipelago British Columbia coast
This video features scenes from our two-night stay in an anchorage called Lady Boot Cove. Located in the Broughtons on the British Columbia coast, this small cove is known as a bomb-proof anchorage that protects from winds in pretty much any direction. We chose it because a quick-moving storm front was on the horizon, and … Read more
After we visited Echo Bay in the last video, we motored a short distance south to a pretty little anchorage among the islets between Seabreeze Island and the larger Gilford Island. We spotted a black bear rolling over huge rocks on the shore as we entered the anchorage via a narrow channel. Unfortunately, the weather … Read more
After Simoom Sound, we headed to the cute little Echo Bay Marina, thinking we could resupply with fresh food and water. Not so much. The marina’s amenities weren’t great, so we’ll head to Port McNeill again. But we did get to visit Billy Proctor’s Museum and talk with the famous Billy, who has authored several … Read more
After an enjoyable stay at Kwatsi Bay, we motored back down Tribune Channel and up Simoom Sound to anchor in O’Brien Bay. O’Brien Bay is located at the head of the sound and is relatively protected from the winds. As we made our way up the sound, we were disappointed to see that many of … Read more
In this video, we putter out of the Eden Pool anchorage as the early morning fog begins to lift. Our couple-hour journey takes us up Tribune Inlet to a gorgeous anchorage at the head of Kwatsi Bay. We’ll be nestled in a sheltered bay surrounded by treed mountains, rock cliffs, and waterfalls. As an added … Read more

In this installment, we look around two small anchorages and our travels between them. I’m amazed at how few boats there are up here compared to the waters to the south in the … Read more
I’m not an expert by any means, but I was recently asked how we provision our boat for extended stays in remote areas. Having RVed for many years and spent much of the time off the grid, I have some experience that can be carried over, which helps. Luckily, our 34-foot CHB tri-cabin trawler has … Read more
Another video update from our 2024 boating season here on the south coast of British Columbia. This time, we will travel from an anchorage in the Broughton Archipelago Marine Park across Blackfish Sound and over to Port McNeill on Vancouver Island.

Another video update from our 2024 boating season here on the south coast of British Columbia. This time, we will travel from an anchorage in Potts Lagoon and explore the nearby anchorages before settling in a small cove. We found a sweet little spot between Berry and Leone Islands. Our own slice of paradise. Highlights … Read more

The timing was critical at a pair of narrow spots, but Anne’s planning paid off, and the passage went smooth as silk. … Read more
