We left gorgeous Ballet Bay after spending two peaceful nights at anchor and continued north up the Sunshine Coast for an overnight stop at Lund Marina. Lund is a small village located at the end of Highway 101.
We snagged a berth on a giant floating concrete breakwater dock and took the dinghy ashore to get groceries and some cinnamon buns from the famous Nancy's Bakery.
For more information on Lund, see a video I did when staying at the Sunlund RV Park - www.loveyourrv.com/camping-at...

Reading the friendly posts that you both receive is just as enjoyable as your videos.Your videos really are delightful.!

@LoveYourRV Год назад

Thanks! :)

@oysterjohn5669 Год назад

This is a fantastic addition to your channel. I'm really enjoying the difference and similarities to road vs water RVing.

@metaxaanabeer Год назад

There is an important life lesson playing out here. For those of you unfamiliar with the area, the drive from Nanaimo to Campbell River takes a bit over two hours. Ray and Anne have turned that into a week or more of journey. Make the journey as important as the destination.

@LoveYourRV Год назад

So true, the drive from BC to AZ is around 20 hours, usually take us 2-3 weeks in the RV. :)

@tmorton922 Год назад

Just the most beautiful area I have seen. I love the solitude.

@robin5382 Год назад

Just beautiful. I liked seeing the anchor being pulled up since I have no reference of what goes on. Just fascinating. What a treat to watch. Thank you for sharing.

Glad you enjoyed it :)

We are so enjoying your trip on Vestri…it is bring back lots of wonderful memories.

Great to hear. :) I'm just editing the final leg of the maiden voyage video. We made it to Campbell River safe and sound! All set up in our marina slip for July

Looks like you'r gonna make a good 1st mate ! Great Vids, Ray (and captain), thank you!

Thanks 👍

@hoss1003 Год назад

Hey Guys.. Great video. Anne, your just like my wife, always cold and wrapped up when there's a breeze, even if it's 80+ degrees out. Ray, You need a water hose with sprayer at the Bow, so you can clean the Anchor and Chain as you bring it up. Y'all have fun and we'll see you next time.

@timf6916 Год назад

You got it all Ray, what a life. RV, Boat, A Great looking Wife and she is the Captain of the boat. Nice

@LoveYourRV Год назад

No complaints that's for sure. :)

I did a live-aboard scuba trip by Port Hardy. I took their sea kayak out and was paddling away, rounded a corner, and, to my surprise, their was a floating log camp. They were sooo quiet, none in the group knew they were there. Spent 5 hours following a pod of 50-60 dolphins; they were putting on a show for us. At the end of the fifth hour, the dolphins made a 90 degree turn to the right, all in unison (either they were bored of us or a killer whale was detected).

@claudius622 Год назад

Boating is different and nice because we are in a different state and give a different experience. But I find that its more restricktive because of water plan. I used to own a boat but sold it and now have a fifth wheel. Have fun !

@ScubaSteveCanada Год назад

My brother and SIL just sold their 33 foot boat and replaced it with a new pickup and travel trailer. They found the boating season was way too short. They'll follow me down to the U.S. southwest this fall for a winter stay (where I met Ray & Anne).

@dalemarshall9736 Год назад

@LoveYourRV Год назад

Yes, we see some amazing boats in these parts usually doing the Alaska trip. I like the Fleming, Selene and Krogen as well, just love the look of the trawler yachts

@brandonpeniuk Год назад

Hey Ray, the videos keep getting better and better. Keep posting them. Cheers!

@LoveYourRV Год назад

Thanks, will do!

@G_RAThbun Год назад

Looks like that anchor did its job, don't have to worry about running out of water while you're washing the mud off do you LOL.

@LoveYourRV Год назад

My portable rechargeable pressure washer is going to be perfect for the job!

@daleskat Год назад

Awsome video of the area 😀, looks like your really enjoying yourselves.

@tmorton922 Год назад

Ray, I think your Canadian accent is stronger now than when you were in the states... just say'in.

@LoveYourRV Год назад

haha, yeah I tend to morph with where I am to a degree. I remember when we visited the gulf coast I started to get a southern drawl

@tmorton922 Год назад

Love the underwater shots Wonder if you could catch the bioluminescent critters at night on the docks?

@questionmark4348 Год назад

I'll be interested to see how long it takes to for you to get to 100K with these new west coast video's... Those underwater videos are beautiful...you need some diving gear ;-) I look forward to these new videos :-)

@reem46490 Год назад

I'm foreseeing some kind of anchor cleaner as a future upgrade.

@reem46490 Год назад

@@LoveYourRV oh yeah, that's handy. Safe to run saltwater through?

@LoveYourRV Год назад

I'll find out. :) Its mostly plastic as far as I can tell so my guess is there isn't anything to corrode but may plug with dried salt crystals, so if using it with salt water I'll run a bit of fresh through it afterwards to flush it.

@dirtroadsailing6418 Год назад

I'm debating what Ray's first boat project will be, more solar or a deck wash to spray the chain, anchor and deck off with.

@111kolive 15 дней назад

Love your videos. It reminds us of our first cruises up the coast of B.C. Great place to explore. May I ask what you are using your shoot your videos? Keep them coming!

@LoveYourRV 15 дней назад

Thanks. I mostly use a Sony Camcorder AX43. It has great zoom and image stabilization abilities. www.sony.ca/en/electronics/handycam-camcorders/fdr-ax43 Some footage like time lapse and underwater is from little Akaso Brave 8 action cam www.akasotech.com/brave8

@111kolive 15 дней назад

Thanks! Nice clarity and very stable image. Are you using a tripod a lot of freehanding. We have done this same trip many times on the way to Princess Louisa and the Broughtons. Getting ready to buy another Albin 25 to go exploring again. That was our first boat and probably will be our last boat too! See you out and about sometime!

@LoveYourRV 15 дней назад

Mostly hand held, sometimes I'll use a Joby Gorilla pod and wrap it on a railing. joby.com/ca-en/gorillapod-3k-kit-jb01507-bww/

Thanks for sharing your setup!

@earlribaudo4807 Год назад

Very nice videos. Sure is some beautiful country you are going thru. Water and weather has been good to you also. How much fuel does the boat hold and how long can you go on a fill? Also how big are you water and black tanks? When do you plan on being at your destination? I guess Ann is the Captain and you are just the clean up guy. lol

@LoveYourRV Год назад

It holds 250 gallons of diesel and uses about 1.5 - 2 gallons per hour at 7 knots. Haven't measured precisely yet, but looks like at least 120 gallons of fresh tanks and about a 25-gallon black tank. We made it to Campbell River 2 days ago. I still have one more video to edit and publish, completing the maiden voyage series. Anne is the captain and navigator. I'm first mate, deckhand, cook, and chief engineer. :)

@earlribaudo4807 Год назад

@@LoveYourRV Thanks for the comeback.

@neilrankin9945 Год назад

Thanks Ray. If you don’t mind sharing, what is your gasoline/diesel costs so far? Also, what is your average travel hours per day? Thank you.

@LoveYourRV Год назад

Anne check today and we have 31 hours on the diesel engine thus far. Took a couple short shake down trips in Sidney to the spit and back and then 7 hops to get to Campbell River. Don't know exactly how much fuel yet as we haven't refilled to check how many liters we used.

@raybbj 11 месяцев назад

Hi Ray, just curious as to why the audio of your videos lately is so much in the left channel and very little in the right channel. Not that I'm complaining.

@LoveYourRV 11 месяцев назад

I guess sometimes I hold it a little away from my head to the right, especially when using the other arm to grab and balance, therefore the audio is louder on the stereo mic that is closer to my mouth. :) Maybe I should record in mono..
