Seven Days Under Sail in Desolation Sound, British Columbia
By Meredith Laitos
It’s difficult to put into words what it’s like to sail in Desolation Sound, British Columbia, but “spectacular” and “breath-taking” are a good start. Located roughly 450 miles north of Seattle, Washington, the sound features abundant sea and wildlife. Along the winding inlets, 1,000-foot waterfalls cascade into 1,000-foot deep seas under bright blue skies. In the late summer, the weather is ideal and the locals delightful. In this four-minute video, see and hear how SAIL spent seven days under sail in Desolation Sound.

Wow- looks gorgeous!
After seeing this video I'm going to make my next sailing adventure on a Charter Boat into the North West.....Desolation Sound, British Columbia is it......What a new adventure....I'm used to sailing in the Carribean or Greek Islands or The Bahamas.....This will be a terrific change of scenery...Thanks for sharing.
Thanks, I enjoyed the video. I grew up in Powell River and we spent our summer vacations boating in Desolation Sound and around the coast of BC. There's a lot more great places to see than they had time to show in this video. Places like Squirrel Cove and Princess Louisa Inlet to name a few (the latter not being in Desolation Sound but farther south). I have many great memories of summer days on the beach on Savary Island... what a great place.
