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.

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.

A brilliant idea if you have a little more room on board. Double duty makeup mirror and jewelry box.

The only umbrella that really works is the one you take with you. It is compact so it is easy to throw in your bag. Wind vents for our windy, rainy Vancouver days.

This surface mount, waterproof, wireless charger is designed with boaters in mind. No more messy cables.

Waterproof and neoprene. Protect your tablet from the salt air.

Protect your Bose speaker with this semi-waterproof, shockproof, hard-sided speaker case. Because splashes happen.

Pamela Bendall, from Vancouver, was a successful investment dealer who gave it all up to go sailing. By herself.
