Let readers know your plans....
Time for an Instant Poll: Tell us about your upcoming sailing or boating plans in the comments section below. Anything exciting on the horizon? Going solo or meeting up with a small fleet? Have you been there before? If so, feel free to send us a photo and we’ll post it in a followup. —Eds
We don’t face the melting-ice issue here in the Northwest, but we live aboard our 30-foot motor cruiser all winter and start cruising in early May, almost always heading north from the Port Townsend area to revisit favorite anchorages in the San Juan Islands before meandering into the Gulf Islands of B.C. Best cruising months around here are May and September, avoiding the crowded back bays and marinas of mid-summer. During the June, July and August period we enjoy shorter cruises south into all corners of Puget Sound; we especially love South Sound.
Don't forgot to send us a favorite photo from your cruising grounds and if we get a few we'll post them as a follow-up. To josh@smallcraftadvisor.com —Eds
