Port Alberni - Get-away on Cheeyah Island

On our October journey with the MV Frances Barkley from Port Alberni to Bamfield, our first stop was Cheeyah Island. This seemed like a pretty posh get-away in the middle of nowhere. At this stop, the skipper pulled alongside the dock to drop a passenger off.

Bamfield - Sorry, No Coffee Today

Having stepped off the MV Frances Barkley a few minutes before the monsoon-like rains started, I strolled along Bamfield's seawalk  to this location. A coffee shop in the summer, I reckon.

Bamfield - Walking the seawalk

We're in Bamfield, walking the seawalk. In the rain. Of course! The MV Frances Barkley had just dropped us off at the dock by the Canadian Coast Guard Station and what should occur? We're in Bamfield. Rain. Actually: monsoon.
