Who Knows the Pacific Northwest?

In the tidepools of the Gulf and San Juan Islands, kids – like Hayden Stapleton – can find all sorts of fascinating creatures.

Do you know your way around the prime sailing venues of the Pacific Northwest? If you have recent experience cruising or chartering in the Gulf or San Juan Islands, Desolation Sound, Princess Louisa Inlet or Vancouver Island, we’d love to hear about your favorite places, and learn what you consider to be essential tips for Pacific Northwest sailing (and especially chartering). And, of course, we’d also love to see a few of your best photos. 

Since we don’t pretend to be experts on the greater Puget Sound area — recently dubbed the Salish Sea — ourselves, we’re reaching out for reader input, which will be distilled down into a special January feature in our World of Chartering section.

You know you are livin’ large when you’re lucky enough to get a slip in front of the landmark Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC’s picturesque harbor.
