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.

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.

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.

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.
