[C320-list] Where should we move to?

[Dave Sparks]

Kirk:
   I think your question was addressed to Allan, but I did sail on the
Skookumchuck last summer when we chartered for 3 weeks out of Vancouver. A
picture of kayakers "surfing" on the Skookumchuck Rapids can be found here.

   The rapids seem to intimidate a lot of boaters. The anchorages beyond the
rapids were relatively empty.
    The "motoring" was much better than the "sailing" during our 3 weeks. Is
that typical summer weather?
        Dave
