what an amazing place .........out of this world .......trully special in every way...it belongs to another time and moves at a slower pace, only a few cars, mainly the trucks that are the land taxis that take you and all your crap to your house off the Lund water taxi.
To get to Savary Island from Vancouver takes nearly all day 3 ferry rides and a ute ride as well once you get to the island....its all part of the journey......you can camp or rent a house thats all the options there is so we had a house on the cliff at Savary Shores looking south for the week , we could see the sun rise and set.....we were treated to live in deer family, pods of orca whales crossing the reef infront of the house , gorgeous swimming and beach weather every day, plenty of hunter gathering of the biggest lovely oysters and clams -the oysters were fat and easy to get -what a treat ! The locals enjoyed oysters kilpatrick for the first time and we fed on clam fritters a plenty.....kids ran free and discovered the new found freedom of being able to go to the beach alone , ride and get an icecream and pay themselves -new found independence and they revelled in it -albeit a little tame at times...we met some neat folks thanks for the hospitality Alex and we hope to see you all in Vancouver soon....the rain poured on the roof, no electricity except for 12V lights so no PC,s no TV no music....just lovely, Sam said the rain sounds like a song o the roof....aint that grand....thanks for a great week we all had a peaceful, relaxing week of earthy beach going, light exercise and rustic accomodation....back to basics and loving it ......happy days.....if you ever get to go to Savary dont miss it for a second and try to stay a summer not a week .........check out the Gallery
