Welcome to Missy Goes Boating

For the past 20 years,  I have been cruising the Pacific Northwest in my 34 foot Bayliner "As You Wish". I manage to get out most weekends from April to October with a couple of one week visits to the Gulf Islands or Desolation.  I love a good dock party or a side-tie in a remote anchorage and live for flavourful snacks, fun cocktails, a stack of magazines and a healthy dose of dock talk.

Missy & Jonathan

Hi! I'm Missy and this is my big red dog, Jonathan. I am a weekend warrior who loves to cruise the Pacific Northwest. I am a shopper and love cool products that actually work. My friends and I spend countless hours floating, sipping beverages and talking about what works and what doesn't. We didn't invent any of this stuff but we sure like to think we did.

Fun fishing gear from Saltgirl! They even have matching leggings!

 

Open View | ReCOOL 16 Qt Cooler

 

No more styrofoam coolers! Recool is the world's first biodegradeable and compostable cooler that keeps beverages cool for up to 12 hours.

 

Vitamins don't always stay fresh on the boat so instead of taking a big bottle just take enough for the weekend. One slot per day!

I tried this on our last haul out and yes, it works. It works as well as muriatic acid but no noxious gases. And Osborne Propellers should know, they have been screwing boaters for years!

These dog toys are floatable and shaped like real stones! You get to play and so does your dog!

I first tried these on a flight and was looking for a slice of lime for my Diet Coke. It actually tastes like lime and would be great if you were in Desolation without access to fresh lime.
