November is a rather awkward month. Summer’s warmth has left us and the glow of holiday lights feels far away. That’s why this time of year inevitably prompts our minds to wander south, even if only in a dream—even if only in the Pacific Yachting “chartering issue.”
This year, the minds at Pacific Yachting found their way to Mexico following Zuzana Prochazka’s exploits on the Sea of Cortez. Prochazka’s warm, sun-baked tales in Savouring the Sea of Cortez are a fantastic reminder of the freedoms offered at the helm of one’s ship—even if it’s just a rental.
If Mexico is too far to risk dreaming about, this issue also includes Rick Hudson’s journey to the Central Coast here in BC. Hakai Dreams takes readers from the Salish Sea into the North Pacific where other boats are few and far between, leaving plenty of space to anchor and soak up the scenery.
This issue features late-season salmon angling tips, reflections on Cowichan Bay history and a cycling investigation to find the nuns of Shaw Island. We hope you’ll find there’s a little something for everyone. And as you tuck in for the season, try making Mediterranean Tarts as inspired by Nadia Dale’s time in Norfolk, England.
The Pacific Yachting November 2026 issue is available now in your mailbox, on store shelves and online.
