Berkana Trip Log Vancouver to Hawaii

------------------------- Saturday, 30 May 2008 - "Are you nuts?" "Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.” I woke up at 5.00am with nervous anticipation, checked my packing list one more time to ensure I had everything. Did not forgot anything. Only because I had packed everything I own into 4 bags! I got a ride to Coal Harbour with Bill, arriving at 8.00am. Met Steve and Jim at the dock, they were just heading for breakfast, so I dumped my stuff on the boat and Bill and I joined them. For breakfast we all had greasy eggs & bacon and coffee. Pouring scorn on the rule number one and two of seasickness: 1. Do not eat greasy food 2. Do not take caffeine We may live to regret this bravado! We had a good crowd come down to wish us “ Bon Voyage”, including Doug, Laur

6th - 10th May 2008 Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day, teach a man to fish and you feed him for life. I met Bill at the crew meeting for the Hawaii trip. Bill is on the return leg taking the boat back from Hawaii to Vancouver. He is a very keen fisherman and is semi-retired. He has just finished work and will take the summer months off. I'd been looking for someone who knew a bit about fishing so I asked if he would be interested in a fishing cruise and teaching me the finer art. He was! We settled on a trip up Sechelt Inlet. Tuesday, 6th May Bill picked me up at the house at 9.00 am and we drove down to Granville arriving at 9.40. Bill said he liked the Bavaria, all that space! I had provisioned the boat the day before so we loaded Bill's gear and cast off at 10.30 am. Our plan was to make for Green Bay, about 40 miles up the coast and then 5 miles up Agamemnon Channel. It was a nice slow cruise allowing Bill and I to get acquainted. We both brought fresh baked muff
