The beaconing call of Alaska and Glacier Bay National Park is powerful and irresistible. This will be our fourth trip north, visiting familiar places and creating new memories!

Tofino Resort & Marina

George Stonecliffe | Rainy, with afternoon sun breaks
After gunkholing in anchorages such as Bottle Neck Cove and Bucchante Bay, watching an adult black bear eat 'grass salad after salad', and seeking out new sightings of wild flowers to identify, we weighed anchor this morning and headed for Tofino, one of the two main towns on the Vancouver Island West Coast. We were fortunate to find space at the Tofino Resort & Marina, home to a featured restaurant, and laundry services that we always seem to need. We walked to the Co-Op Grocery Store and replenished our supply of fruits and vegetables, dairy, and fill-ins to our food pantry.
