Across island journey

Soon after arriving on Vancouver Island in late November 2019, I was thankful to be able to make a boat trip I'd attempted to make on 3 previous occasions (but which were all cancelled for a variety of reasons beyond my control).  That was the boat trip from Port Alberni across to Bamfield on the west coast aboard the "Frances Barkley" - a vessel that takes passengers and cargo to various communities en route.

It was a stunning day - blue skies, sunshine and no wind !  The vessel departed at 7:30am and returned around 4:30pm after an hour's stop in Bamfield.

. . . . there was a surprising number of waterside properties



These guys were bringing their pontoon/raft out to collect provisions




This Bamfield resident (and canine friend) went past a couple of times during that 1 hour stopover, once bringing back a friend (human this time!)


Just in time to be too late - to see the whale!

A very different version of a "transportable home" :-)

This former ferry (based in Port Alberni) has been converted into a B&B - how cool is that?

It was a wonderful day's outing (only 7 passengers outbound and just me and the crew coming back!).  Another memorable excursion.
