Racing Small Boats
~ From Nate ~ I smushed together some clips from the Barefoot Raid race the other day; the magic of iMovie on an iPhone, incredible one-stop-shopping and makes this stuff relatively easy, if still slightly time-consuming, on a little phone. This is made for the Raiders themselves, hence the long run time… I assume all…

~ From Nate ~ Slow day to end the Raid. Met back up over on Quadra Island for goodbyes. Another wonderful dinner with Tor and Heidi. Time for a rest day. More pictures to come.

It’s All Family | 7.7.22
~ From Nate ~ We stuck with the Raiders today, Coop sailing both legs of the racing in Sweetpea and sailing her admirably, of course. Beautiful day for me with a little hopping and soaking in the beautiful boats and scenes. Happy birthday to our dad, Don! Many thanks for our first intros to cruising…

Just a Few Miles Down the Sea… | 7.6.22
~ From Nate ~ We moved the Crow and her support boats all of 3 miles to Shark Spit today as the Barefoot Raid settled into this special, historically-significant meeting spot. I picked Julia up from Campbell River and we did a nice resupplybuy at Canada Superstore. Then a drizzly hop back to the chilling…

Mixing It Up| 7.3-6.22
~ From Nate ~ Meeting Ron and his family is going to take some digestion/reflection before the full gravity sets in. So much new, yet familiar. I consider Ron a friend thanks to countless phone calls over the last two years to learn about the Crow. Not everyone gets to ask frequent and varied questions…

Day…? To Mitlenatch and Beyond
~ From Coop ~ A big push to get up this far along the BC Coast was to meet up with our sailing siblings from the Barefoot Raid, a European style small boat assembly racing from catered breakfast to catered lunch, and then again racing from lunch to catered dinner to the hardcore small open…

Some new videos for Ron’s birthday
Ron, like our sweet nephews Lars and Vance, was born on the Fourth of July – always a special day for us thanks to Uncle Pat’s endless enthusiasm. Here are some recent videos I got uploaded thanks to the miracle of wifi.

Homecoming
We made it to Cortes Island yesterday and have had a truly incredible time getting to meet Ron and his family in person and get some incredible reminiscences of the Crow’s creation. More more more to write on all that, but here are pictures until we have time for that.

Day 9 | Canada D’eh!
~ From Julia ~ Today is Canada Day and we woke up in Tribune Bay on Hornby Island, BC. It was sunny and delicious. A day which makes you want to be on or in the water. Nate and Coop got up and I made coffee while they blew up the inflatable island and the…

Day… WHALES! Pics.
~ From Nate ~ It got late again. We’ve covered about 100 miles in the last 2 days, criss-crossing the Strait of Georgia. No recap today other than it was beautiful and a little exhausting. More tomorrow, but… WHALES. It’s pretty sweet to have your own boat-video-production craft to tow along, and when the moment…
