- Sailing into this remote group of islands off BC's Northern coast on our 30ft sailboat, we were greeted by enormous humpback whales swimming alongside our boat & dolphins riding the wake of our bow! Towering snow capped peaks, pristine wild beauty, rich First Nations culture and the densest population of marine mammals anywhere, few cruising grounds in the world measure up to this remote archipelago off the coast of Northern British Columbia, Canada.
We'll be adventuring around this incredible sailing ground for the next little while before we continue our journey North to Alaska. This is a special place and it is near & dear to our hearts.. we cannot wait to share it with you

WHO WE ARE
Hi! We're Allison & James 👋 a Canadian Aussie duo who left the conventional life behind to live an adventure-based alternative lifestyle here in the Pacific Northwest! Currently, we split our time between land and sea - living part time in our tiny home in the woods and the rest of the year living on our floating tiny home, exploring the epic coastline of the PNW! Continually chasing our dreams of adventuring off the beaten path & living a more sustainable, self-sufficient life.
Thank you for being here with us for vanlife, rvlife, boatlife and all the in between!

It's difficult to describe how amazing this place is and how excited we are to arrive here on our floating home.. but you can probably hear it in Allison's voice while she simultaneously laughs and cries while Dal's porpoises surf Uintah's bow! Seriously the best victory lap into the Broughton Archipelago we could have asked for..
Ps. Allison edited this episode entirely on her own since I am currently stuck in NZ, double the work so give it a big thumbs up if you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, cheers!
Great episode guys! The Broughtons are soooo Beautiful!!!
Wow! Spectacular scenery you have there. Your area is definitively in my sailing bucket list! 😊 Thanks for sharing.
It's an incredible place, hope you get to experience it first hand someday soon! Thanks for watching, cheers Daniel!!
Only a few mins in, so many beautiful shots! The beginning montage is so peaceful ❤☺️
Thank you Caroline!! Really glad you enjoyed it, you would love it here!
Great music accompanying your video.
So glad you’re enjoying it Guy! Hope you’re having a great weekend :)
Had to re-watch. Love how you capture the heart of sailing for you guys. And that happy laughter as you video the dolphins fills my heart. Love you 😘😘🤪
LOVE your videos!
Awe, love to hear that. Thanks so much Kay Lynn!
Super underrated channel, your videos are such high quality!
That means a lot. Thanks so much!
Wow, your video's are awesome. Im amazed you guys have only been doing this for a year. Cant wait for the next one!
Awe, thanks so much Murph!!!
Wonderful video. Thanks for putting so much effort in. This is making me really want to get the boat off the dock for some overnights! Cheers!
Thanks so much! Hope you can get off the dock and out on anchor real soon, cheers!
Thanks for the vid, these are my home waters and I have not seen them for a while.
I left in 2015 to set sail for a circumnavigation, currently in Thailand 🇹🇭, I’ll,be back one day.
Oh wow that’s so amazing!!! What an adventure. I guess you’ll have a whole new perspective on this place after the big lap!
Really nice video! So much wildlife- and I love the drone cinematography. Great work guys! We miss the Broughtons- it's an unbelievable place!
Awe, thanks so much guys! Really appreciate you checking it out! The Broughton's really leave an imprint hey? James and I actually met here while working at the hospital so it's very near & dear to our hearts.. such a special place!
Amazing time you have both had with all the sea creatures greeting you as you continued your exploration/adventure. Thanks for sharing, see next week.
The next adventure is just around the corner! We will see you there!
Fantastic photography, just spectacular. Yes I subscribed you guys are too enjoyable not to watch. What an adventure
Thanks so much for your kind comments Dan! Really you are enjoying the videos and stoked to have you on the adventure with us.
A very nice episode. And timely for me as I will be sailing though the Broughtons in just over a month. Looks like this is from Fall of 2022, is that correct? All the marine, birds, and animal life photography was awesome.
Thanks Peter, perhaps we’ll see you up there! We’ve been in the broughtons since September 2022 and decided to keep our boat there over winter so we can keep exploring this spring :)
@@AllisonandJamesSailing I've been enjoying all your episodes. Your photography skills are impressive. I'm based in the Seattle area and will be in the Broughtons in May on the way to SE Alaska. Any tips or favorite "don't miss" places would be appreciated; if you don't mind sharing any secrets :)
Would have loved to see around Sointula a little bit.
Apologies we didn’t show more of Sointula in this episode! We sort of arrived and took off to Gilford island and the rest of the Broughtons pretty quick. More to see of it in our Shakedown episode in the latest season and likely again in future vids :)
less talk and more scenery, and boat sailing.
We weren’t able to sail much coming North up Johnstone Strait in the Summer
Please, do not hype this area too much. We don't want it becoming a "thing" on the cruising circuit as it will face risk of damage and over regulation - endless hassles for the locals. So please, just enjoy and carry on. "Nothing much to see here" is the safest approach.
Hi Coleen, James and I are ‘locals’ and care deeply about the Broughton Archipelago area. Having a ‘nothing to see here’ attitude is not going to serve or save this beautiful place we call home which is already severely at risk. Colonial extraction activity in the form of unsustainable logging practices, the near extinction of wild pacific salmon as a result of the fish farm industry etc. have all but devastated its fragile ecosystems. We need ‘all eyes’ on this place. We need people to see/know/learn/care and come to love this place as much as we do so that it can be restored, honored, respected, protected and enjoyed by all for years to come.
@@AllisonandJamesSailing hmmmm... Good points re: keep it quiet vs get eyes on - I get the point. And I like your channel and boat, however, what I say next may come across as though I do not. Not sure that it is in as dire a situation as you described. And ease up on the "Colonial extraction" descriptions since, as a white woman, I am tiring of listing the all the virtue signaling that comes from middle aged white women almost entirely. (sorry, but "white women complaining" is becoming a pet peeve across North America and, frankly, it is getting embarrassing). Canada's forests are not only maintained sustainably, they are the world's largest, and the Canadian government that you no-doubt voted for has done one of the better jobs world wide on this issue re: forest management. Also, Canada is easily the best country on earth at managing fisheries - that is for sure. I wish they managed the entire ocean. If, however, you insist that you are "colonial" and, as a white person, are the enemy to this country, or that you stole the land of some tribe, then what shall be your punishment be? Get my point?
