We spent two weeks (Sept 6 to Sept 19) cruising to Desolation Sound in British Columbia, Canada. Time was spent in the Toba Inlet, Nanaimo, Campbell River, Gabriola, and many other locations. Our Ranger Tugs R-29 CB performed very well and kept us safe. Wind and weather mostly cooperated. The view of the mountains, waters, whales, and such were stunning. Unrivaled beauty was found everywhere. Also everywhere were Ranger Tugs. We saw them close by in EVERY marina and anchorage (Friday Harbor, Nanaimo, Melanie Cove, Laura Cove, Toba Wilderness, Campbell River, Page’s @ Gabriola, and Anacortes). And, of course, we saw them on the water. If you were in these locations between September 6, 2023 and September 19, 2023, your boat may be in this video.

Special thanks to Kyle & Andrea of Toba Wilderness. You guys built an amazing marina in a boating paradise. You pointed us to whales, bears, waterfalls, and ancient pictographs. We appreciated it very much.
