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.

I tried the plastic wine glass route but it is just not the same as real glass. I have been using this storage box for almost 10 years and it is a great way to save your wine glasses on the high seas.

Not sure how this works but it does. Sticks to a flat surface and won't fall over. Pick it straight up when you want a drink. No tippy canoe for this coffee cup.

This champagne or wine bucket is made of plastic but looks like fine crystal. So wine a little and laugh a lot.

 

Great for a day of hiking. Keep your cell phone charged and your body hydrated!

The Sperry Bionic Collection is made from material that is spun from plastic recovered from the ocean. Each pair of shoes is made from 5 recycled plastic bottles. Brilliant.

 

It is annoying but it happens. White streaks on dark clothing. This professional-grade sponge removes deodorant residue and most makeup powder stains from clothing.
