Road Trip To Vancouver Island

[Art]

We loaded up the rig and drove it out 1100 km to the west coast for some epic paddling.

First stop, the coastal town of Ucluelet and a breathtaking view of the outer coastline as seen from the Wild Pacific Trail.

Conditions were ideal as we paddled out of Ucluelet Harbor and then out to and along the outer coast.

After we departed Ucluelet, we made a side trip to Longbeach.

Looks like it will be around October/November this year when we head back through France & Spain, then over to Morocco for possibly a 9 week tour of that country, which should be interesting!

Fancy booking a place in the 'Third Seat'? [thumbup]
