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.

Port Hardy










We briefly stopped in Port Hardy after Port Alice. Bruce flew for Alert Bay Air Services and has not been back for 40 some years. We drove to the airport and saw the Wall of Pilots - names of pilots from this area and some he has flown with. Brad Nixon's name was there along with some other familiar ones. His office is now deserted. We drove to the end of the Port Hardy Public Wharf and met with some locals. Al picked up some local humor from an old Native gentleman who was there with his wife, daughter and granddaughter.
