For Kids and For Pets have some tips for where to go and what to do. If you need information on which Cruising Guide Books to buy visit that page. The other links above go to separate pages with a short discussion of each subject. You can get tips on Anchoring, Tying to the shore, Tying to a Buoy, and Basic Navigation. Each discussion is focused on considerations applicable to cruising in the Pacific N.W.

Cruising in the Pacific Northwest (Washington and British Columbia) can range from a relaxing vacation to a challenging adventure. If you choose your destinations carefully and prepare for your trip the two situations need not overlap. By and large the waters east of Vancouver Island are protected and severe storms during the summer are rare. However, if you venture outside the area east of Vancouver Island or into the Strait of Juan de Fuca, Georgia Strait, or Johnstone Strait, you must be prepared for anything. Even in fair weather, conditions can change quickly and dramatically.

Your destinations will determine the skill level required. In all cases, basic skills are required and intermediate or advanced skills will allow you to broaden your horizons. We have been cruising in the Pacific Northwest (P.N.W.) for decades and have been to hundreds of different parks, harbors, marinas, and towns. Some places are extremely easy with few challenges and others require planning for wind, weather, tides, currents, crowds, and other variables.

Please follow one of the links at the top of this page for specific cruising tips and hints.
