Exploring the Wild Pacific Northwest Waters

Welcome to Teresa’s Cove Quest — where adventure meets the salty air of the Pacific Northwest.


I’m Teresa, and together with my collie Fergus, I’m setting sail aboard my Bavaria 40 Cruiser to explore the untamed waters of the Salish Sea. Mainly the area around Georgia Strait, Johnstone Strait, and Desolation Sound. This is a story of new beginnings, quiet anchorages, misty mornings, and the kind of freedom only the ocean can offer.


Come along for the ride! The map is wide open and the best adventures always start in the coves.

Captain & Explorer

The Pacific Northwest isn’t just where I sail — it’s where I grew up.

I’m Teresa, and my love of sailing started in a small 8′ sailing dinghy on the waters around North Vancouver Island. Summers brought bigger waters around Johnstone Strait and Desolation Sound. It also brought bigger boats. Along with an even bigger dream of someday setting off on my own.

Now with my collie Fergus and a Bavaria 40 Cruiser, I’m chasing that dream through the same rugged, misty coastline that first captured my heart. Teresa’s Cove Quest is a return to those roots and a quest for all the coves and quiet places still waiting to be found.
