I think someone told me a person can call in from Bamfield and clear 
Canadian Customs there.

Anybody know for sure?  My mothership is very near completion, and Barkley 
Sound is definitely one of the locales I plan to explore with it.  Not sure 
I want to cross from Neah Bay, but maybe.

Mine is a minimalist mothership (a daughtership?) with a small V-berth and 
no galley -- cooking is on a campstove on the fantail -- and the portapotty 
spends nights on deck in the cockpit, days inside the cuddy cabin.  Our 
boats will be foldables, stowed in the cuddy when running, assembled on the 
engine cover (it is an inboard), and gingerly entered off the stern.  Still 
working on how to leave the kayaks and hump ourselves over the rail, back 
into the cockpit.
