There are a handful of paddlers each year who complete a circumnavigation of Vancouver Island, but there's only one book on it. `Visions of the Wild' by Maria Coffey and Dag Goering and recently published by Harbour Publishing. They circumnavigated in a double. c. banner Thetis Island.

> I've been looking at websites, and can't seem to find one piece of crucial > info: How long a distance is it? What is the circumference? Joshua, I know that those two questions are just examples of many, many questions, but if you acquire the pertinent charts for Vancouver Island, it should be relatively simple to measure the distances. Do you have the charts? Dreams are great. I have several myself. Some are likely to go to the grave with me without being realized, but some will be done... eventually. The most practical dream right now is a couple weeks paddling Glacier Bay. That one is doable.... if I can just manage to get about three weeks of vacation all in one continuous block of time...., and the money to get me and all my stuff from Virginia to Alaska.... and find a suitable paddling partner...... and if I can just improve my skills a little bit more. I can almost put a check mark next to that dream already! Anyway, great dream, and good luck with it!

750 miles seems to ring a bell but I'm not sure.... I was watching the local news last night and there was a piece about a fellow who is planning to swim around the Island. He left off the Victoria waterfront yesterday and is planning to average 30 km's a day! That's a long way even in a kayak!
