Graveyard of the Pacific!
23 August 2014 | Ucluelet, Vancouver Island

The fog moved in and out all day and we kept moving too.
We hiked the Pacific Rim Trail, this section taking us around the peninsula of Ucluelet and the lighthouse. Information boards along the way told us the history of the coast line we were looking at.
By the end, we were thankful that we had abandoned our plans to bring BLUE down the west coast. August is known as Fogust by the locals, a month shrouded in this cloud that moves in and out constantly and has resulted in navigational errors over the years with many shipwrecks and loss of lives!
What we loved was the sound of the foghorn alternating with the sound of the male seals echoing it...
the undeniable beauty of the rugged coast line...
and our feet securely on the ground!
