When I was there in '91, a car from one of the majors (Budget and Hertz were the only ones) was C$65 per day with no free km - you paid $0.25 per km for every km. However, I found a local garage that would rent me a car for $65 per day with unlimited km. It was a late '70's Chevy Citation with one and a half rear view mirrors, a passenger door held closed with a wire clothes hangar, notable list to starboard etc. Kind of informal, too! I'd still like to do Gwaii Hannas with just a kayak & gear. Take it with me on the train from Toronto to Vancouver, then by ferry to Prince Rupert and than to Skidigate. Island hop to the southern islands, past Sandspit and on to the normal kayak destinations. Return the same way. That's a 5-6 week trip. I'd only need a lift from my home to the railway station and between the railway station and the ferry terminal in Van. Mike PS My condolences to the paddlers in BC. Now that you've got the Olympics in 2010, you'll find out what real taxation is like. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
