Vancouver Virtual Club Night – 8000 Nautical Miles “Due to Covid-19”

In early 2020, the voyage from Puerto Vallarta to the Marquesas was to have marked a new beginning for the vessel  Full & By and her crew, Dick Towson and Anne Woodson.  After ten years of cruising in Mexico, they were finally saying goodbye to the North American shore and embarking on their grand Pacific Ocean adventure.

Things did not work out as planned.  Dick, along with crew members Roger Bragg and Ken Robertson, set sail for French Polynesia.  Anne was to join them, to continue their adventure of a lifetime.   While enroute to the Marquesas, the world changed, as Covid took hold and borders closed.  Instead of being a leisurely cruise in the South Pacific, this adventure of a lifetime became an 8000nm voyage of necessity, to return home to Canada.

Dick Towson was a CYA sailing instructor and Anne Woodson has her CYA offshore certification. They joined BCA in 1996 as dreamers.  Roger Bragg is an experienced ocean sailor, as is Ken Robertson, who has solo sailed his own boat to New Zealand and back.

All BCA members should have received an email containing the Zoom link for this club night.  If you are not a member and would like to attend please email Heather Marshall for details.
