This is a short trip report on our recent 2 week voyage near Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. 5 paddlers ventured north from the area near Telegraph Cove, seeking new adventures. There was drizzle the first evening, then sunshine or fog the rest of the way. Imagine watching an Orca pod rip the water to a froth. Imagine watching an Orca leap clear out of the water. Picture bathing along a white shell beach in brilliant sunshine, and having a whale breech 20 feet away. Hear wolves howling mournfully nearby, as you negotiate a narrow passage with tidal rapids on both ends. Imagine finding wolf prints on the shore of a remote island 3 miles out to sea. Envision fighting a salmon from a kayak, while a bear walks along the shore. Taste the salmon, crab, clam during the evening meal, and watch the sun slowly set. These are just some of the things that helped to form our summer vacation experience in British Columbia. Brad Crain ********************************************************************** Bradford R.
