Larry: Sounds like a fun trip. Do you ferry to Duke point and trailer up from there? GARY ~~~~_/) ~~~~ Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment. Injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere.

We are launching clear up at Port McNeil. Actually, Telegraph Cove Marina, just south of the town, where we will also leave our trailers and tow vehicles for three weeks. That puts you right into the archipelago without the long passages non-trailerables have to make to get there.

Where do you launch, to go to the Broughton islands? That is, how far do you actually sail to get there, or do you launch close by at N. end of Sunshine coast or up near N. end of Vancover island?
Contemplating a couple trips up that way, maybe not quite so far north but who knows...later this season. One probably with my kayak, but another at some point with my Monty.
cheers, John

Deer Park, in the northeastern part of the state, but I do a lot of my cruising over on your side. Usually hit the San Juans and Gulf Islands a couple times a year with a small group of friends. This year we're heading up to the Broughton's in mid July. Over here I sail the north Idaho lakes - Priest and Pend Oreille being my favorites.

Here's a picture of my layout on CornDog. I routed it tight along the toe rail so it's not underfoot. Works very well. Perhaps not clear in the picture is that there is a fairlead on the pulpit which guides the line directly into the furler. Small blocks guide it along the toe rail, and it is cleated in a cam cleat on top of the coaming.

Thanks George & others who replied...I was contemplating a similar

I think. Quick question, in absence of pics:
Do your furling lines run outboard, or inboard, of the cabin-top >
handrail
(assuming you have one)?
thanks, John S.
