looks like you have lots of company around you. Where is your mooring?
I started a Mooring in Victoria gorge waterway, eventually, all the rag tag boats that showed up when they saw me there caused the city to make a bylaw against it. :-( My 31 foot trimaran burned to the waterline there when my brother left candles burning. She was a Great boat, I miss her. It would be perfect for Panama.
Wow, Vancouver Island! I spend 10 Years commercial diving all around VI. A friend asked me if I would captain him on a circumnavigation last year, But I don't do shivering anymore. Even Summers are to cold for me these days. LOL
Watch the weather on the Washington/Oregon coast it can get nasty at times and almost no place to duck out. The Pacific is so warm here, It's not refreshing till you get out and the breeze cools you off. But in the dry season around offshore islands you can see 100' down at times. :-)
My cousin is an under water welder ...taught it after he retired ... he has dove all over the world ... hope to do some myself ..picked up a hunter drysuit and all the gear ....
Get yourself a small compressor, you will be happy you did. I heard you guys had some near hurricane force winds last year. I would have been out sailing hehe. No oceans in the world scare me after the Pacific North West. I've never seen higher that 4 foot seas here. Like sailing on a lake LOL.
I left a 21 Northwest anchored in Esquimalt bay for the winter while I skipped someone else's sailboat around the Carribean, not a day went by I didn't think about her.
