Desolation Sound has been a part of my summers since I was a little girl. The peaks and winding inlets are familiar, often triggering old memories. Like leaping from our little sailboat on a smoking hot summer day, or collecting mussels off the cliffs on the way to Walsh Cove.
Desolation is classic. It doesn’t matter if you have been here once or one hundred times, the beauty will hit you like a slap in the face, leaving you bug eyed and slack jawed.
After the long haul up the coast we have a arrived in Desolation Sound. And by long haul I mean 100 nm over two days – not record breaking but far enough.

We have taken in the splendor and the sunshine and swam in the lakes. We have also perfected the stern tie, finally. A perfect family vacation.

Ever wonder what the view looks like from the tallest mast in Spruce Harbour Marina? Pretty nice!
Such a perfect trip! We had a glorious week of winter sun. For the full trip watch the winter sailing 2014/2015 video on our YouTube channel!
It’s off to Princess Louisa for Asunto!
Time to return to rainy Vancouver. Sailing inTurkey was wonderful. A hundred Thanks to Paikea Mist!
Crazy Chimaera flames on the Olympic Coast of Turkey. Yep this is fire coming out of the rocks! Oh and this is also where Zeus had his lightening bolts made, so I thought I would put in an order for my own set….
Loved this anchorage. We were the only boat among these rocky islands. A perfect place until the anchor got stuck under a boulder, and Kolby had to dive to free it. It had been so jammed that the shaft ad bent when we were trying to haul it up.
So this is sadly all too typical. Take a moment to zoom into this picture. There is so much plastic mixed into this beach it is impossible to pick up. This goes beyond taking care not to throw garbage into the sea. This is stopping before purchasing plastic. Do you really need it?!?
I almost forgot these gems! These were taken in the ‘Blue Grotto’, the most fantastic ocean cave I have seen.
