Flash Poll: Your Own Cape Horn
What’s an interesting or challenging small-boat trip, voyage, or crossing you’ve wanted to make? Or maybe you’ve already done it? Maybe it’s ambitious—maybe it’s not. Maybe it’s a circumnavigation of the local lake, or perhaps it’s a raid, or completing
The Great Loop. Let us know in the comments below. —Eds
Next summer, when I’ve finished building our 20-foot, 6-knot outboard cabin cruiser, I’m hoping to trailer up Vancouver Island from our Puget Sound location, launch at Gold River, BC, and camp-cruise out to Nootka Sound on the wild west coast of the island. I’d also like to repeat a small-boat cruise I did years ago, also on Vancouver Island, slowly exploring the wonders of Clayoquot Sound from a launch ramp in Tofino, on the outer coast. (Clayoquot is about the only bit of Vancouver Island that’s never been assaulted by the timber industry, so there’s a lot of virgin timber to appreciate.) - Marty Loken
When I retire, in April 2027, I plan to sail a Hobie 16, from Key Largo to Elbow Key, Abaco Bahamas. Having entered 8 Everglades Challenges with 4 official finishes, I feel we have garnered enough experience to have a successful voyage ! John Federico(tenzan)
