If they get ferried back and forth to the Bunsby's from Kyuqot, this is a pretty tame outing and they should be fine as long as they don't look for trouble and get caught up in time pressures. Only problem I have had is that the slog from Fair Harbor to Kyuquot does not have many great places to camp. If there are only two of them, this might not be a problem but there is the usual issue of very few landable places on that route and so people tend to get concentrated at the landable spots. If they move north off the direct route from Fair Harbor to Kyuquot they likely will have the place to themselves. One evening, coming up Crowther with a big group, we could not find a spot to stay without infringing on others. We keep going from beach to beach until it started to get dark. The group established at where we ended up were not happy (ie they were hostile) *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
