Preview The Raincoast Maiden is close to “ready for action”. Yearly haul out, inspections, repairs and (most) mechanical work is now behind us and we’re on to the more fun jobs. A time when every inch of the boat is obsessively waxed, polished, oiled or painted.
The calm after the “storm” of the season… We are now closed until May 2016! Thanks to all who supported us – we really do appreciate it!
We had the pleasure of hosting Marilyn and John’s wedding aboard the Raincoast Maiden today. The ceremony took place while anchored in a sheltered cove in the Broken Group Islands, followed by champagne and a fabulous spread of canapes catered by Norwoods Restaurant.
At this time of year any day like this is a bonus!
I love the way each year is a time for new beginnings.

What a truly magical evening it was! We are […]
Seeing this wolf walk by on the shore while we were anchored up Ucluelet Inlet on our “day off” yesterday was a magical surprise!
We love being able to help celebrate special occasions such as Flavio & Alice’s Honeymoon and June’s Birthday!
