Mom, Savai, and I are all back home in Washington. I consider it to be a temporary retirement from all the work we had to do aboard Dogbark.
Month: June 2018
Hello Raptors!
After getting to Sitka we had some spare time, well really just a chance for Mom and Dad to kick us off the boat in a kind way to get some work done. So we got to spend a lot of time with our grandparents. To our pleasure.
Blog Update fom the Dogbarkers: Autopilot Pranks
Wilma and Wilbert are the hydraulic autopilots who steer the boat so we don’t have to. And they are acting funky, like they don’t appreciate all the sail changes and configurations.
The Early Expedition
“Uggghhh! I don’t want to get up,” moaned my sister, or maybe it was me. The plan of the day was to wake up at five and drive four hours round-trip to Tow Hill hike and the semi-famous blow-hole hike.
An Amazing Adventure in Haida Gwaii
Dogbark has reached Haida Gwaii, a place with huge forests, intriguing wildlife, and lots of Haida culture and history. After a couple stops at Haida Heritage sites complete with totem poles and hot springs, we headed to a beautiful anchorage called Crescent Inlet where we decided to go on a bushwhack!

Quick update from the top of Vancouver Island
We are jumping off to Haida Gwaii today. We will be out of service for a bit, so I wanted to share a few photos from the trip so far…
A day with Hula Girl
Well it’s not just Dogbark sailing the Inside Passage. We also have another boat with us, Hula Girl. Someone had the idea for me and Talia to ride on Hula Girl for a day. So we did, and this is what we did!
Islands and Sunshine and Dolphins, Oh My!
We’ve finally set sail, and headed off into the beautiful San Juan Islands and Inside Passage (Not to be confused with the Northwest Passage). Many people have asked “What’s it like?”, or “Where are you?”. Currently, I am on a big sailboat steaming towards the not-so-big town of Port Hardy, on the east side of Vancouver Island.
