Haven't got the book in front of me, but I remember they suggest driving (!) down the coast. It's for this reason, I've decided to go to the Departure Bay terminal for this upcoming long weekend (in Canada anyway). I can do a walk-on at Horseshoe Bay, and wheelie my boat about 500 metres to the floats at the local boat club/marine pub. Hope this is of some help.
