Also planned in two sections; Port Hardy to Clayoquot Sound and then Clayoquot to home.

Members are invited to attend all or any of the phases and to leave and rejoin as their plans or wishes dictate, after all it is a cruise.

Our plan will allow for one or two gatherings of the fleet for each stage, individuals or smaller groups could explore in between.

The challenge of a trip of this nature is not to overpower small anchorages or small marinas.

Within the plan for each stage, all could determine their own schedule and or ‘buddy’ with a ‘like-minded/like cruising speed potential’ boats.

Information/Planning Meetings are scheduled for April 16 and May 14 at the Club, Discovery Room, 1900-2100. Other rendezvous points will be selected at these times
