I started boating in 2000.
Brought my own 34' Bayliner up the inside passage in 2003.
You can do it. You will make mistakes. You will learn allot along the way.
The biggest lesson I learned...
The Canadians measure their seas in meters.
I took out of Prince Rupert in 3-5's
I thought 3-5' They were 3-5 meters.
But I lived, and learned so that was good.
