Welcome to the Chelsea Overseas Kamping Excursion

We set sail on an early morning ferry (7:45) departing Tsawwassen for Duke Point for a 2+ week excursion to Vancouver Island. On Day one we traveled up island - our destination: Port McNeill for 3 days. Four couples from Surrey decided it was time to explore our neighboring island in our RVs while we still had our health and wits about us. The four couples are: Bruce & Gerry, Dave & Yvonne, Ted & Elaine and Al & Kathy. The original group has shrunk down from about 17 due to other commitments and the very unfortunate passing of one of our dear friends, Linda. We will miss her greatly.

15 JULY Tofino - Bella Pacifica RV Park

We are a little behind in our postings (thanks to our many followers for that observation). The total blame for this can be traced back to this: Bruce & Gerry arrived at Tofino with 2 bags of Fanny Bay oysters (120 count). We had no choice but to consume them since they must be eaten fresh. We roasted them on the BBQ until they popped open then drenched them with homemade garlic butter and/or seafood sauce. EVERYONE tried at least one - some consumed too many! We are so proud of Al who tried TWO! & Dave who seemed to like them & Elaine and Kathy who did their share. The remainder of us just enjoyed until they were gone (Ted, Bruce, Yvonne & Gerry). So we place the blame on the oysters. Read into this what you like... (Gerry)
Oysters - (by Yvonne)
I must mention the oysters! Bruce & Gerry bought a ton of them and put them on the BBQ. They pop open when they're done and you smother them with seafood sauce. they were unbelievably delicious and huge! The first night we ate so many that we had to skip super. Of course, some of us ate more of them than others. Even Dave enjoyed them and the next night, even Al had two!

  1. Wow I am shocked that my dad had two, he won't even eat farm fresh eggs let alone squishy things that live in the ocean. Good on ya, Dad!
    I am glad everyone is having a fabulous time. I am a little jealous, so as long as you ALL have a drink for me, and maybe bring me back a present, I will get over it- ha ha! Have a great rest of your trip!
    Love Michelle
