Slowboat

Boating in the Pacific Northwest Slowboat is about putting the journey above the destination. It is about exploration. Join us in exploring the world by water…

It is about enjoying independence and self-reliance instead of canned, pre-packaged experiences. It is about encountering adventure where it lives. It is about having the curiosity, confidence, patience and preparedness to strike out into the unknown. It is about making your life extraordinary – by seeing, hearing, touching, tasting and smelling the world in new and exciting ways.

Airship took a little shakedown cruise over to Cypress Island last night--getting things all ready for this summer's flotilla to Alaska. We head north on May 10th and we're so excited! (Mt. Baker looking fabulous in the distance, taken from anchor at Eagle Harbor.)

We love to discover new places...especially rewarding when it's one that no one has told us about and there are no reviews! (Airship is the tiny white dot on the left!)

9pm and the rain stopped and the clouds mostly cleared and the light was beautiful and so we were able to get some aerials after all. Yay!!

We finished our trip down the outside of Baranof Island yesterday (rounded Cape Ommaney in some pretty swift current and steep waves, but not a drop of saltwater on the windshield, whew!) and ended up in a cute little spot called Toledo Harbor.

Puffin Bay might be our favorite stop so far on the west side of Baranof Island. So beautiful!
