My first visit to Clayoquot Sound on the West Coast of Vancouver Island was in 2004. I had just started paddling a kayak after a break of more than 20 years. I had originally raced flat water kayaks on the lakes & bays of Ontario which were, generally speaking, calm and flat. The ocean going touring kayak that I paddled to Hot Springs Cove was a far different beast and the rigours of navigating the obstacles along the way was quite taxing but utterly enjoyable |
2005 was a much different trip: I'd had
a year to perfect my paddling, packing & camping skills from a
kayaker's perspective and I was now anxious to explore more of Clayoquot
then we'd been able to the previous year. A paddle along the outer coasts
of Vargas & Flores Islands lead us into some magnificent scenery
inhabited by bears, cougars & wolves on the land and whales, porpoises
and other sea life in the water. Our main camps were Cow Bay on Flores and
Half-Moon Bay on Flores as well (close to Sharp Point & the Hot
Springs!)
