Eleven members paddled 13 km around the perimeter of Gorge Harbour. The weather was warm and a light wind blew from the north-west. An interesting landscape of cliff mounted cabins and live-aboards in the harbour. Seals were plentiful and we made a venture through light rapids at the harbour entrance to see the pictograph paintings created by the Tla'amin (Sliammon), Klahoose, and other Coast Salish peoples between 1,000 and 2,500 years ago. Much time was spent observing the oyster industry and how it works.
