British Columbia: Nanaimo to Lagoon Cove, (Broughtons Archipeligo)

Thursday, May 30, 2013

We left Nanaimo yesterday morning crossing the Strait of Georgia with calm seas and rain. We anchored in a pretty little cove, Gowlland Harbour across from Campbell River, B.C. and enjoyed kayaking in the afternoon.

Today was another early departure in order to time Seymore Narrows at slack tide. The infamous Johnstone Strait was calm, just rainy, but indeed beautiful scenery even in the rain.

A quick glimpse of the sun...BEAUTIFUL!

We’re currently in Lagoon Cove in the pouring rain but hoping to see our first Grisslie. This is a very funky little marina and I think we should adopt the rules posted on their Bulletin board.

  1. Hi guys, Daryl came home the day you were headed for Gowlland and told me he thought he saw your boat go past the Cape Mudge lighthouse……….he was right!!! Glad to see the sun has come out for your journey, a little too much wind though? Love to read about the trip. Be safe
