| A story about circumnavigating Vancouver Island in the S.V. Patience in 1995/96. Includes a route map. Around Vancouver Island (AVI) is an entertaining story about circumnavigating Vancouver Island, British Columbia. If you like a good sea or adventure story, or are planning on sailing the waters around Vancouver Island, you will probably enjoy this tale. While we sailed around Vancouver Island, we visited places like Nootka, Hot Springs Cove, Barkley Sound, Nanaimo and Cape Scott. We saw literally dozens of eagles. We saw both killer and humpback whales. At the end of the trip, I made a mistake of judgement and nearly got us into some serious trouble in the rip tides off Point Wilson in the Puget Sound. | |

11 friends paddle around 11 lakes (Bowron Provincial Park) in 7 seven days. Photos of the paddlers and a photo gallery are included. Murray's here. It's time to load up the boats." Those words were music to my ears. My biggest worry about the trip was getting the tandem kayak I rented from the University of Calgary up to Edmonton. I mean we're talking about a 22 foot boat on top of a Ford Taurus here.
Anyways, it was time to load up. We decided to load a canoe and one of the single kayaks on top of Murray's car for the ride out to BC. That left four kayaks (two tandems, and two singles) to put on top of John's truck. Now I know John's got a pretty good sized truck, but I couldn't see us fitting four boats on its roof rack. Then I SAW the roof rack. Let's just say that four boats would be no problem.

Photo travelogue of our trip in 2002. Highlights include paddling Big Salmon River and Yukon, hiking the Cottonwood Trail in Kluane National Park and sea kayaking in Glacier Bay National Park. After a very long flight from Vienna via Toronto and Vancouver with spectacular views of the Saint Elias Range we arrived in Whitehorse. It was easy to rent a Canadian canoe and arrange transport to Quiet Lake, the starting point of our paddling trip. (By the way, a very recommendable company are Canoe People Ltd
