In 1991 I spent about 4 days in the Octopus Islands with my wife and 3 year
old daughter.  We launched our Feathercraft double at Granite Bay on Quadra,
and paddled into Small Inlet.  We put our daughter in one of the cockpits
and portaged to Waiatt Bay.  This was nearly a full day effort since one of
us had to stay with her, while the other went back for gear.  We spent some
very pleasant family camping on one of the Octopus Islands.  We had an
island to ourselves.  Day trips paddling the Feathercraft solo from the aft
cockpit.  Then we portaged back.  Great time.  Never saw any rapids.
Didn't want to go through any with my daughter and wife in the front
cockpit, or solo in the rear.  Maybe next time.

The fishing stunk.  But then again it always stinks for me.  Maybe because I
eat too many bananas.
