POTW: Swimming with whales

Swimming With Whales

Nov 22, 2018

We have kept our subscription to Canadian Yacht Onboard as we have traveled the South Pacific over the last few years but never thought of submitting anything.  

We are a Canadian family of five cruising in the Pacific on our Stevens 47.  The two older children were 6 and 8 when we started and little Benjamin was born in Mexico while we were preparing the boat to cross the Pacific.  He was four months old at the start of the crossing.  Now we have two teenagers and the little one is almost five!

Please find attached our submission to the POTW from swimming with whales in Tonga and a link to the story:  http://sv-fluenta.blogspot.com/2018/10/swimming-with-whales-and-other-close.html.

Cheers,

The Best of Two Worlds

By Mathew Channer

Interior British Columbia might not be as famous for recreational boating as Canada’s Great Lakes, yet it is no less a world-class boat­ing destination. The mountains offer their own flavour of marine adventure with their series of long, deep ribbon lakes, and there is perhaps no area that embodies this more uniquely than the iconic Okanagan basin in southern B.C. One could be forgiven for assuming this valley was purpose-built for nautical fun, with a few delightful perks thrown in to make the area entirely irresistible (wine-tasting, anyone?).
