Do you typically boat from Vancouver to bamfield? How long does that take you?What else stops husbands from doing completely reasonable things in life?!!!

No this was a first for me. We were towing across from French Creek
I boat from Vancouver to Uclulet last year. Took me 9 hours cruising at 21 knts including an half hour detour into Oak Bay Marina for fuel.

I do it in my Commander 30 from North Van to Bamfield in about 7 1/2 hours depending on conditions.
2 years ago made it back in just over 6 hours in near perfect conditions. Typically you are coming with waves heading toward Vancouver and into waves going to Bamfield. Fog can slow you down too. I cruise at 32 to 35mph.
It’s about 185 miles depending on route.
Heading back there mid July.
I have a 40ft Meridian with twin 450HP Cummins diesel engines. Burned about $1,000 fuel one way.

That’s what my son and I where saying ing last time we were out. We’re going to grab some large spikes as some surveys tape. And start marking some of the bad ones. If we’re ever aloud back over
Or where would a guy buy some log markers

If you are meaning to use steel spikes, please don't do that. I make my markers out of 2x2 lumber and paint them red or use survey tape to make them more visible. I screw a long deck screw partway into one end and cut off the screw head leaving a 2-3" section of the screw's stem to drive into the deadhead. A long nail can be used the same way.That’s what my son and I where saying ing last time we were out. We’re going to grab some large spikes as some surveys tape. And start marking some of the bad ones. If we’re ever aloud back over
And yes, there were lots of deadheads in the inlet this past weekend!
