That's why we should be grateful to have folks like Louis around but even more thankful that not everybody is like Louis.

What in the world did I do here to earn this dreadful reputation?

Maybe I need to post more often about riding tires with the threads showing.

Spent a lot of time in my younger days racing Cal and C&C 25's on the Great Lakes, if the border was open you'd need one less sailing mate.

You didn't do anything...And you don't have any 'reputation'....

Must be early morning or late/wine/beer fueled forum time.

BUT, for the OP..I spent more than a few days 'haze grey and underway', but unfortunately I don't know anything about 'sailing' or I would jump on this. Little trip down the coast, probably in sight of land the whole way..seems like it would be a blast..

Ismael would be proud.

If the borders were open, I'd also be there in a heartbeat. I'm just barely north of you on Vancouver Island. I've done the Vic-Maui, Swiftsure and Van-Isle and have been aching to get back on a sailboat in the PNW. I'm also pleasantly plump and serve well as rail-meat.

C'mon Justin, open the borders, I gotta help my fellow PLers!

I'm tempted by your offer, however my only real sailing experience was aboard a 48" ketch in the BVI for two weeks, listening to the funeral of Bob Marley on the local radio. The "Devious" had a Panamanian registry, we sailed for sure and enjoyed many of the experiences that the islands offer.

Is the PNW similar to the above?

I move 8/2, and have my son's wedding 8/13, but if you'd pick me up at the airport...

Jwin, if the OP looks anything like this I'd be sure to take some extra provisions and a good PLB with fresh batteries.

Hmm, I really miss the ocean. But I nearly died at sea, so I’m probably not the good luck charm you want to have on board, unless your version of good luck is a Coast Guard basket hoist rescue.
