Very calm on the water, beautiful reflections. Cold to start with but warmed up nicely. Had great views of the surrounding mountains, including Mt. Arrowsmith, Mt. Klitsa, and the Beaufort Range. 8.9 mile paddle included all of Faber Arm, but got as far as seeing Taylor, Stirling, and Two Rivers Arms as well. Canada geese and a dead bear.
Spectacular day, sunny and calm, completely private. Great views of the Beaufort Range and just the first inkling of Spring showing up in the varied forest shrubbery. Still and quiet, a refuge from the hustle and bustle.
Spectacular day, sunny and calm, high tide permitted full exploration behind islets and shallow estuaries. Great little hike to the open ocean where we saw lovely pebble beaches and tall stone chimneys capped by windswept conifers. Hardly any traffic on either the road from Port Alberni, or maritime traffic in the harbour. Doesn't get any better.
