Gulf Islands - Leaving Pirates Cove

On this day's kayak tour, Peter and I had launched at Cedar-by-the-Sea. After a nice paddle along the west shore of Link Island, we had slipped through the hole-in-the-wall (between Link and DeCourcy Islands) toward Pirates Cove. After a snack at the cove, we headed back. Here we're in the narrow passage exiting Pirates Cove.

Nanaimo - Oyster Catcher in Departure Bay

Kilroy was here! Black Oyster Catcher in Departure Bay. When kayaking around Nanaimo, you're likely to hear the Oyster Catchers before you ever see them. When you hear them, be sure to look about for their characteristic orange beaks and the red-yellow eyes.
