July is an interesting month on the water. By now, most of us have settled into the routines that seemed so ambitious back in spring. The docklines are familiar in our hands, the provisioning lists are a little smarter, and favourite anchorages begin to feel like old friends.

I'm also taking you along on several recent South Gulf Islands adventures through my YouTube channel. I hope these stories inspire a few detours, a little onboard creativity, and perhaps a new summer tradition of your own.
