Do you like to explore different areas, return to a favorite spot, or linger in the same place? When we first started cruising, we sailed as far as our weekends and summer vacations would allow, improving our skills to tackle a circumnavigation around Vancouver Island, explore the Queen Charlotte Islands (Haida Gwaii), and trek to Southeast Alaska. Over time, we travelled less in favor of lengthening our visits in areas like the San Juan Islands. That’s when we started befriending local mariners and making shoreside acquaintances.
