    Broken Island group BC

    Not long now

    Its taken ALOT of planning and organising but only a few sleeps left.......



    Camp sites reserved several months ago. Sea kayaks booked, hours of research done, days crossed of the calendar, its almost real



    Plenty to fit into our bags for the flight but it will be worth it. One of the worlds great sea kayaking destinations. Bit different to the Able Tassie

    Looking forward to the wildlife, the salmon run, the massive trees and my two boys reaction to it all.

    I will try to keep you fellas updated in between the fishing !

    Cheers

    Funny to see Dungeness crab there.

    Dungeness is in Kent England and has 2 retired nuclear power stations on its point as well as one working lighthouse and one disused one you can go up.
    Happy Jack.

    Yep I hope they are tasty
    To be fair I think we are more likely to encounter the red rock crab, but you never know.

    Am going to pick up a small collapsible crab pot when we get our BC tidal waters salmon licenses in Vancouver.

    75 years ago my parents left England for a new life, they had a choice between NZ and Canada. They chose NZ, have always wondered what if it was Canada.

    Most definitely , my son lives there and even though he was brought up with the NZ style of hunting he has adapted To the Canadian way.
    He hunts elk and whitetail and Mule deer mostly and if he gets an elk and a few whitetails he has enough meat for most of the year.

    Such an awesome part of the world. I spent a couple of summers just up the road, in Tofino, back in the day
    We caught plenty of dungees, ling cod and salmon. Crumbed black rockfish burgers were always hands down my favourite.

    Hope your boys enjoy the adventure
