Jupiter and her crew rarely cruise in consort with other vessels, however soon we will accompany eight boats with thirty-five mariners aboard for an adventure transiting Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands.

A year in planning, Team Jupiter has collaborated in curating a twelve-day escapade for the Ocean Reef Yacht Club (ORYC) of Key Largo, Florida. This dynamic association of mariners was founded in 1962 on the seafaring principles of navigation, socialization and revelation. The popular dance that year was the Loco-Motion.

One hundred ORYC members recently completed four days of acculturation and advanced maritime studies at British Columbia’s Capital of Victoria. Now the Club Flotilla participants will test their knowledge and experience in the Salish Sea.

The Weather Forecast

Everybody's goin' on a brand new cruise, now
(Come on, baby, do the O-R-Y-C)
I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance, now
(Come on, baby, do the O-R-Y-C)
Every kind of boater can do it with me
It's easier than crusin' in the Florida Keys
So come on, come on
Do the O-R-Y-C with me

~ Little Eva, 1962
