Hi all,
You may have seen my postings on this going back to 2009 about going around Vancouver Island on a Hobie 21 SE. I've decided to scrap the idea of putting on an event, choosing instead to just take a few weeks and go do it.
The moon, tides and long daylight hours make departing on June 30th the perfect window. At this time, I'm planning on taking 9 days but may leave a full 2 weeks to enjoy the ride. I've done years of homework, have loaded up on Spots, satellite phones, VHF, multiple GPS's and a host of other safety strategies.
Route is here:

Please email me outlining your level of experience and we can talk. Barring that, if you have a big fast cat like an I20 and wanted to join us, then give me a shout.
