2006 Cruise
To Desolation Sound
and the Broughton's
The "QE Too" in Refuge Cove, B.C.
|
The years are getting on and this year's cruise is likely the last we will be taking the QE Too to Desolation Sound and the Broughton's. So it was one last grand cruise. There were no mishaps except for a little difficulty with the current while docking in Everett. But there were no mechanical failures or injuries. Due to reasons of health, Gloria only cruised as far as Bellingham and re-boarded again in Bellingham on the return.
|
This years cruise registered a round trip total of 825 nautical miles on the GPS.

Northbound Route
Desolation Sound, where you literally cruise into the mountains.
