Well we’ve managed to commit to a bit of summer fun in the Broughtons<\/a>. Leslie and I have booked the Shearwater<\/a>, a 33′ Bavaria, to join Cooper Boating’s planned flotilla to the Broughtons off the north-east side of Vancouver Island. The flotilla will be headed by the\u00a0Yeadon Jones, authors of the Dreamspeaker guidebooks<\/a>. It’s 14 days in June, leaving from Powell River and truly a magnificent opportunity.<\/p>\n

The flotilla format \u2014 a group of boats travelling together under the guidance of a ‘lead’ boat \u2014 will allow us to to head further afield than L and I would otherwise be comfortable doing. We’ll have the benefit of others’ knowledge of conditions and anchorages while still enjoying our own boat and able to be as social (or not) as we want. Now I just have to keep from going crazy for the next 3 months.<\/p>\n

Today we are off to the Edmonton Boat & Sportsman show to look for even more adventures… or maybe just dream a little \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

The planned itinerary is below. but who knows if it will change or not.<\/p>\n
