I didn't know about this Coal Harbor (apparently in Vancouver, BC with the
Lions Gate Bridge). I thought Dan meant paddling from the Coal Harbor that's
near Quatsino Sound (south of Port Hardy) on Vancouver Island. The subject
does say Vancouver Harbor, doesn't it.
The only time I paddled in Quatsino Sound was just a little bit coming into
Winter Harbor from the outer coast. We were "smelling the barn" (or our
shuttle vehicle and the "goodies" store in Winter Harbor) after two weeks
camping on the outside coast so I wasn't paying much attention to the
camping possibilities in those few hours. Just looking at the map I imagine
there gets to be some very strong currents (if not tidal rapids) in Quatsino
Narrows.
