Butchart Gardens in Spring!
Destination Cruise on Ardenna

April 12-17, 2023

Image
Let's Cruise into Canada and Experience the sheer explosiveness of spring joy at Butchart Gardens!

This Cruise will feature Ardenna - our Flagship Sabre 402.  Here's the general plan:

  1. April 12 (Wednesday): Cast off from Anacortes and cruise through the San Juan Islands under sail/power to Reid Harbor at Stuart Island.  Anchor for the night.
  2. April 13 (Thursday): Cruise to Sidney BC for a brief Customs stop, then on into Saanich Inlet and Butchart Gardens.
  3. April 14 (Friday): We will provide Butchart Gardens Tickets for everyone.  Being there on a Friday should result in fewer crowds than the weekend.
  4. April 15 (Saturday):  Cruise to Sucia Island and anchor in Echo Bay
  5. April 16 (Sunday):  Enjoy a day exploring the beautiful Sucia Island State Park.  Trails, beaches, crabbing, etc.
  6. April 17 (Monday):  Cruise from Sucia Island back to Anacortes.

Our Spring Butchart Gardens Destination Cruise is Full, but much more Community Cruising Experiences are to come, including Butchart Gardens again - at Christmas!

Community Cruising has been very popular.  Reach out to express your interest and we'll include you in our plans and expeditions.
