Today I board a bus bound for Washington D.C. to join thousands of others in a march on this country’s capital. This is a big moment, an historic event and experience that will live with me for the rest of my life. I will be able say I was there. I will be able to say I stood up for my beliefs. I will be able to say...

Choosing a Boat Heater (Part One)
Monday, January 16, 2017TheCambrians
When we arrived in the Pacific Northwest eight years ago, Cambria lacked one vital piece of equipment for cruising the Inside Passage: a heater. So, one of the first things we did was to rectify that. David started researching our options while we were still in California and by the time we rounded Cape Flattery, he’d made a decision. Like everything else on a boat, heating presents some...
David and I have been in Kansas for one month now, acting as temporary landlubbers. If you’ve never heard the term before, a landlubber is someone who’s unfamiliar with the sea and isn’t a sailor. Depending on how it’s used, it can be quite derogatory (just ask any self-respecting pirate). Lubber, after all, means a “clumsy” or “stupid person”. The word has taken on a softer definition over...

For the last couple of months, I’ve been highlighting anchorages from our Destination Series, but I thought I’d do something a little different today. So, instead of one post that I picked, here are your top ten favourites (based on the number of...

A Walk Through Point No Point County Park
Monday, January 02, 2017TheCambrians
You’ve got to hand it to the early European explorers. They came up with some interesting and descriptive names for the places they charted: There’s Cape Caution, Foulweather Bluff, Useless Bay and Cape Fear, to name only a few. But my personal favourite has to be Point No Point because it always prompts stupid questions from me and David like, “what’s the point?” To Charles Wilkes, who named...
