Announcing 2012 Cruise plans

Okay -- this is the year. We're going to circumnavigate Vancouver Island. I am reactivating this blog and inviting folks to sign on with comments, requests, ideas, and the like. I'm hoping to leave Olympia at the end of May, arrive in Port Townsend the first week of June. Then head west to Barkley Sound. Spend the a month poking around the west side of the island. Round Cape Scott sometime during the first half of July. Then a leisurely trip south, ending in Port Townsend for the Wooden Boat Festival. Let me know if you're interested in sharing part of the ride. I'll be working up a calendar with proposed crew-change sites during the next few weeks. Keep checking.
