"Sailing Logs"? Not much to log, when one cruises the San Juan and Gulf Islands, and the southern/central Strait of Georgia, other than "no wind today…foul current turning to fair as day progressed…motored 7 hours…anchored in sticky mud in 30 feet…13-foot tidal change…" and so on and etc. As a boat travels further north, "dodged rocks at entrance to cove" is a typical added entry. In sum, it’s pretty good cruising up here as long as you’re OK with not using your sails very often. Example: the Fox, 5 years old, has traveled over 3700 miles, and now has 642.7 hours on the engine. Is it a sailboat with an auxiliary engine? Or a motor boat with auxiliary sails? And why do long term cruisers of the Pacific NW all end up with Nordic tugs?
