This ”stay” was not just a destination but an adventure!
The sailboat was beautiful and moored in a gorgeous setting, peaceful and tranquil. The only real activity was the scheduled arrival and departure of the Ferries across the bay. The sunrise and sunsets were truly magical and morning and evening visits from “Sammy the seal” were special too!
Getting to the dock from where we parked our vehicle was a bit of a haul ( just down from the house) but certainly manageable. Getting out to the sailboat in a dinghy added to the venture, especially at night which we did, but was an easy go sometimes escorted by Sammy.
The sailboat is really something special. The main sleeping berth was more than adequate for two adults (and we are not small). The water closet and shower are small but this is a boat and both are manageable. The Galley was efficient and comfortable. The deck was the perfect place to take in the surrounding beauty. We took advantage of a gorgeous day to hire the sailboat for a day on the water, and Chris, (the owner and Skipper) took us out on an amazing tour around some of the Southern Gulf Islands’ coastline.
Mayne Island itself is beautiful. There are very nice restaurants and a fabulous bakery. The “locals” are all wonderful too!
Would we do it again? Absolutely!
Will we do it again? You bet we will!
