Last night’s evening charter. Not only was it glorious evening for viewing the spectacular scenery in the evening light but we also saw whales, bears, sea lions, seals, eagles and various types of sea birds.
Not only did the engine room get a complete refit over the course of the last two winters but the Raincoast Maiden also has new “insides”: New carpet in the salon and cockpit, the salon furniture was reupholstered, chairs & bar stools refinished, we have a new table top, even a new fridge to keep the champagne nicely CHILLED!!
There are many benefits to having a floating office. Today, anchored
in the beautiful Broken Group Islands, this is our view!
We LOVE the new enclosure on the upper deck of the Raincoast Maiden! It is clear as glass and makes it that much easier to see the spectacular scenery and wildlife of Barkley Sound and the Broken Group Islands.
HAPPY NEW YEAR !!
As we look back on 2011 we are certain that we are not the only ones who will not forget September 17th! While anchored for lunch in a beautiful cove in the Broken Group Islands, one of our guests dropped to his knees and proposed to his lovely girlfriend of several years. Luckily the unsuspecting bride-to-be said yes – much to the joy of all aboard. Congratulations Joost and Caroline! We wish you all the best and are happy you chose our tour for this special occasion. This was definitely a highlight of our 2011 season!
After being torn apart and weeks of work, the starboard engine is back in one piece and looking prettier than ever with its brand new hoses and fresh coat of paint! Best of all, it started right away. It is a relief to know that Al did know what he was doing after all….
We do all we can to prevent in-season break downs. However this year`s winter project is a little more extensive than just regular preventative maintenance. Last year Al did a complete overhaul of the port side of the engine room, this year he is doing the starboard side. Let`s just hope he knows how to put it all back together again!
Last week we took the Raincoast Maiden to Victoria, then on to Sidney. The trip down the coast was fabulous – we had friends aboard and the weather was exceptional. We are now tucked away in a boat house doing our yearly maintenance. We’re already looking forward to heading back up the coast to do it all again next year!
