Advice - Vancouver to Sidney

[downtownchris]

Hi all, new to the forum. We have a hewescraft Ocean pro 220 with a 250 hp on the back. Hard top with bulk head.

We are considering doing the trip from Vancouver to Sidney. Any idea how long this would take?

Thanks!

What is your cruising speed. What is the distance?

 

[Capt_Ed]

It's 49 miles so at 25 a couple hours

What app do you use to calculate? We are at Reed Point Marina so we would be leaving from there.

Thanks!

No apps, just experience. The distance is from the harbor not sure up to reed pt

64 statute miles from Reed Point to Sydney, so just over 2 hours at 30 mph.

A Navionics subscription is money well spent…

The trophy is nice but your old fishing boat is IMPRESSIVE!

I assume you're going to do this once we are given clearance to travel again?

Yeah the new boat arrives in July so hopefully things have opened up a bit since then

Yeah it’s not bad for a freebie and if you know your route! Accurate enough.
