A slightly less silly road trip to Cape Breton that does involve painting flames on a Land Rover.

The series that started it all. A crazy plan to build a Land Rover in one day from assorted bits lying around.

It's just water, rocks and trees. Why does it make my heart ache so? Lovely episode and very nice to see a cameo of Geordie. Love it man.
What a great video! That is a dream cruz and so beautiful. I appreciate your effort. It was a little bittersweet to see Geordie but so glad you included him.
Really enjoyed seeing the Pups again.
It IS some of the best cruising in the world. I grew up in Seattle, spent my first 38yrs there sailing, but for pure visual scenari, the smells, the tastes, the sweet cool breeze, it's incredibly hard to beat. I can still smell the Firs and Cedars cooking off in the sun, the salty air on my lips, the cool breeze in my face, it's intoxicating.
If it is already beautiful on screen I imagine having the smell of the water and the pine
What a truly beautiful part of the world! I hope to visit some day. Fantastic video Peter!
Excellent Beer of The Week spot. 🍻
This is certainly the BEST video you have created thus far in the channel. Great camera work, music, editing and dialog. Keep up the great work!

Nicely ironed shirt for the intro, too!
It was so nice to see a little bit of Geordie hiking through the woods. Beautiful.
Thanks Peter for putting this video together you have the soul of a film maker with a dash of carpenter.
Just beautiful!
This video is a work of art.

Thank you.
Over the years we have cruised to most of these places. Some very special memories up there. If you get the urge to go a bit farther north check out the Octopus Islands area. Cheers! (My memory is that there is a tidal waterfall between the Octopus Islands and Owen bay to the north. Watch your tide!)
Gosh, it was really worth it! Thanks.
Beautiful!! Nice to see more travels, and less work for you.
You or Geordie are really talented when it comes to video travel log Thank you

Thanks so much.
I loved the Beach Comers! Growing up in Northeast Maine, we had the show as well!
Absolutely stunning, love the way you put it all in one film, I'd love to see more of these. Cruising the cut used to make moving wallpaper films with ambient noise when he was still boating.❤
Cruising Desolation Sound, definitely worth it!!
Hi Peter, great channel. BTW, Beachcombers was played in Australia for years with a few runs. I would love to see those boats and cruise that area. That show was educational as my dad was a "Piner" (Huon Pine logger) in the Franklin/Gordon/Spero Rivers in Tasmania in the 1930's towing logs with rowing punts. My father loved the scenery in the TV show promting him to share his stories with us.
Excellent photography!!
Simply stunning, thank you Peter 😀👍👍😀
I'm feeling the urge to buy a boat and get over there myself, oh boy
I was surprised to see old friends. RIP
So beautiful. Could see how much you could like it👀
absolutely the best video of your time aboard and the scenery stunning moor please
Excellent video all around! Really helps with the orientation of where you cruise. Envious!
Beautiful country and fabulous tunes!!!!
Great entertainment Peter, absolutely fantastic scenery.
I agree, this is the best video you have every produced. Music, scenery and all. Wonderful music. Perhaps you missed your calling as a movie director versus master carpenter/Cabinet maker. Thank You so much!
Wow, wow, wow, love it, love it, love it, thank you, thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
Truly Epic edit! Worthy of 100k + was my thought I would need to mine out the episodes for a list then lo you do it. Ferro-cement WW2 merchant fleet wouldn’t sink so easy so they towed out to sea and still underestimated the explosives required. Navy got tired of doing target practice on them. Have to be on my list, have not seen a hulk since childhood.
Incredible video! Loved everything about. ❤ Thanks for allowing others to live vicariously through you.
Spectacular! Good times
I left the PNW in 2018 and moved to Mexico. I do love the 320 days of clear blue sky every year here...but your vids have me nostalgic over PNW summer cruising. Cheers.
Great video, Peter. Brought back a ton of good memories. Thank you.
It is really spectacular! Living in SE Alaska I'm sometimes envious of the little luxuries you have in BC but otherwise I prefer the more actual isolation of the rugged SE Alaskan panhandle and the relative lack of crowding. It has to be said though that the preponderance of Charter boats do introduce an element of rivalry and even unfriendliness compared to the easy going nature of all other boatpeople as evidenced in your videos. Great video and an amazing amount of work thanks Mr Peter!
Amazing to no there's life beyond SAFEWAY...
Great video, but somehow I really also miss those tattered jeans while viewing the great woodworking skills. Got myself a pair as well
Cruising Desolation Sound is definitely on my bucket list of things to do the moment I get a boat. Absolutely gorgeous. I like your cruising route a lot. Good mix what seems to quiet and popular anchorage spots. Cheers, T
The beautiful scenery is breath taking.
Thanks for that tour!
Back in the 80s I flew my model P51 that high once, and then it just flew away into space and I never saw it again ;)
Not only Canadians but Australians too would also remember Beachcombers (it aired the ABC- the national broadcaster here). And, as with Canadians they’d have to be over 50 as well - it was a long time ago!

Thank you
A fantastic video, so informative, your getting good with that drone. Thank you
WOW!!! Great episode.
So majestic ❤
It is soo beautiful 😍😍😍and the weather too☀️😎
Perhaps one of the best videos you've produced. Fantastic music. Edited with great forethought and obvious planning. You and your significant other, are amazing people. You both have a private dignity, youngsters would not understand. Because they don't have your maturity or a time-line of goals either gained or lost. Anyway - stay well. Blue skies and gentle winds. Thank you for sharing.
Wow. Just WOW.
Cheers Peter for sharing. That was amazing. Its a lot better than being on the river like me . Keep the grate work up
I can't express what Iam feeling.
Amazing video, thanks for the journey!
What a wonderful compilation of your summer cruise footage over the years. Accompanied by some very gorgeous steel and slide guitar. A cruise like this is definitely on my bucket list. Have to find a boat and a female companion first. That’s in the works but the boat will come after she is here.
Is there a history behind the name "Smugglers Cove"? As always, wondeful footage.
Nice to see your daughter again. Hope she is doing well.
Peter based on this video I’m planning my next trip now!
Loved Beachcombers as a kid in Australia!
Wonderful video ❤️
I so enjoyed your video, it is by far one of the best , well done

Another great video Peter! Wow, it's getting better by the week. Woderfull soundtrack and fantastic filming!
How can we ever forget the BeachCombers eh! I remember it very, very, well. That's what we grew up on, back in the late seventies and eighties even into the early early nineties. Peter, Your living a great life as your capturing such beautiful scenery.
Nice cinematography, it reminds me of the Buckminster Fuller theatre they had there ❤
Wonderful!!❤
Loved seeing Geordie. Well done video, hope to get there some day
Happy, Sad, Happy. Lovely to see Geordie :) He’s with you all the time sharing your adventures :)
Sacred!
I do like the awning on your boat, but suggest a slight a slight re-design when you next replace the canvas cover. Remove the port to starboard ribs of the awning and run them foreword to aft. It would flow with the lines of the boat and look awesome. Keep the camber in the port to starboard ribs at each end. It would be awesome to see. Regardless, I do love what you have done with your boat.
Even though I have been to all these places and some multiple times it never gets old watching someone else’s adventures to this magical place.
Having watched Chernobyl with my two boys tonight, I apologise: which is what the start of this episode seemed like. Have no fear,. we wish you well and also truly love the off-build stuff just as much.
Greetings from Great Island, Maine! Just a great ,feel good and informative series! Thank. you for sharing all of this with us. Engines, beer, natural places, detailed geography= perfect! A quick question: what is your cruising speed and what kind of fuel economy are you getting in either liters or gallons per hour? Is the Beta holding up pretty well? Best to you all!
You should get a fee from the tourist board for that. I can't think of what would be more enticing. Poem must have a viable future with the potential for such splendor. Nice music too.
Another wonderful video. So many great memories. Lovely to see Geordie.
Nice video and footage! Really interesting to see a tour of BC waters. Quite different to Stockholm Archipelago wich I'm cruicing. Different geology, with BCs high mountains an gravely beaches and rocks, compared to the low profile of Sthlm Archiplelagos ice age polished granite cliffs. I suppose the waters are qiute shelterd by the high shores and mountains surrounding. Beautiful!
An amazing area to tour. How cold is the water there?
thanks for taking us along, love it love it loveit! on average how much fuel is used per hour of motoring?
One item I don’t recall you ever mentioning…when the heck you gonna get yerself a transom door!? I can’t help shuddering a bit every time I see you out in open water with that big hole in the bass end of your boat.
Hi Pete, I love the way that you motor quietly and gently, so no fish are disturbed by your passing.

Did you ever bump into Arthur Huff he had a wooden boat called Sabi? Looks very much like yours. He looked like Fidel Castro. 😂

Is there any bear activity on these islands you visit - it looks to be ideal for them.
Hi Peter, Just wondering how deep are some of those locations ?
Not my cup of tea... I rather see you work :-) Wishing you a great holiday, you sure deserved it!
I would prefer people didn't know about our little part of heaven!
