Many boaters under sail cruise the Inside Passage. I met Byron and his wife in Big Bay. He used to kayak quite a bit and we swapped stories of past adventures. They just completed their circumnavigation of Vancouver Island. Congratulations!!

You just never know where or when you will run into nice people. I met Anne and Bob in Kelsey Bay. I had decided to cut my Inside Passage trip short for a number of reasons and needed a ride back to Nanaimo, B.C. These folks were kind enough to offer me a ride all the way to Nanaimo, a 2.5 hour drive! I cannot thank them enough for their generosity! If you happen to find yourself in Kelsey Bay stop by the gift store at the docks and say hello to Anne. Or if you happen to be in need of a storage facility for your boat or a vehicle Bob is the man!

It was great to see you at Big Bay. We completed our circumnavigation of Van Island yesterday (Aug 9, 2008). I am at home now and can send you this e-mail. We looked for you at Port McNeil. We saw many kayakers on the west coast…none near the brooks though. We caught some huge salmon and ate very well for weeks. Best wishes, Byron
Maybe see you on your next trip?
Anne
Here is a photo of the bear I encountered the other day before becoming pinned down on Hardwicke Island. Unfortunately I couldn't grab the DSLR, however, the point-and-shoot did just fine given the proximity. There are more pics in the gallery.
