Our New Home (For Now)
After almost 6 years and 40,000 nautical miles Blowin' Bubbles is in her new home. Shelley and I have taken a contract to run Ganges Marina on Salt Spring Island.
We will be living on Blowin Bubbles in the marina and use that time to give her the TLC she needs. Technically, she is for sale here: https://www.sailboatlistings.com/view/84576 if the right people come along we will let her go to a new home and then look for a different boat...
If you find yourselves in the Vancouver Island area please drop by and say hello!
The web address for the Ganges Marina is here: https://www.gangesmarina.com/
The owners have committed to rebuilding many of the docks and renovating the washrooms. This is a big investment into the marinas future and we are excited to be a part of this new chapter in our lives.
