We had an uneventful motor up to Campbell river, right up until we entered Discovery passage and noticed the boat speed up to over 10 kts. Apparently there was a stiff 4+ kt current flushing us through. Fortunately it was quiet inside the breakwater and we got a nice slip in the Discovery Harbor Marina. From here we spent 3 days seeing the sights which included a museum, some great totems, a few hikes, some geocaching and an excellent pizza. We also took a bus to the movies and a cab ride out to see the Elk Falls and the "highest" suspension bridge in BC. Here we also saw some huge hydroelectric pipes made entirely of wooden staves over 70 yrs ago and still in use.
