The plan for Sun Gypsy this year is to circumnavigate Vancouver Island. We left our home on Saturna Island on the 20th of June and are slowly making our way North for a counter clockwise trip. So far the winds have been unusually from the SE so we have been sailing on a broad reach or downwind. Very relaxing.IMG_0497.jpeg Saturna Island IMG_0496.jpeg loading the last supplies
The first stop was Montague and a meet up with friends.

Michael. We have made 2 attempts this season to sail to the Broughtons and maybe beyond since the end of May. And 2 times we have returned to deal with some mechanical issues. Hopefully we will soon let go the lines for a third try and make our way to our destination. I will keep an eye of your progression and if convenient to both we may have and opportunity to throw one or two back in the same cockpit.
