Canada Day ~ July 1st Sail Past

The July 1st Sail Past is on again and fast approaching! Decorate your boats with some Canadian spirit and come enjoy an afternoon on the water sailing/cruising around Penelakut and Thetis.

2pm: Depart from Thetis Island Marina/Telegraph Harbour area

1st Pitstop: Tent Island

2nd Pitstop: Penelakut Spit

Cruise continues up the east side of Thetis, around North Cove and down the west side.

All ages and boats welcome. Let’s keep this fun island tradition alive and celebrate this fine country we call home! The Sail Past will take place rain or shine.

For the record… I am aware of the multitude of lovely boats on this island, so let’s see them! If my old boat managed the voyage last year sputtering along on one cylinder, a solenoid sticking and a leg running on sea water… surely yours can handle the trip!

Any questions/info - please contact Tricia Hunter (contact info in the Thetis phonebook)

Looking forward to seeing many decorated boats and island neighbours at sea on Canada Day!

Boat Ramp Update

This is the updated information concerning the damaged pleasure craft grounded on the boat ramp.

The original salvage company contractor had to withdraw and the insurer has now contracted with a new company. The solid plan is to arrive on Friday with a barge at low tide and strap the vessel and then load it at high tide around midnight. If all goes according to plan the ramp will be open again for Saturday morning.
