Enjoy

In September we returned direct to YVR from Nanimo on a turbine otter, allowing us an extra day on the island, and an easy trip to the airport. It was only the early low cloud that caused us any worries, but the skipper stopped the climb at 200 feet until we cleared the harbour, and then cruised at 500 feet across to the mainland. Even Mrs K-B was grinning!
At Tofino, you can catch the "mail run" with Tofino Air I think it is, sounds like a great trip around the local settlements, but as it was raining cats and dogs (100mm in the day) had to miss that one.
The Martin Mars are off the water at Sproat Lake now as the fire fighting season is over. Therefore visits are no longer possible, you will just have to go back next summer to see them!
