We were sent off at the gate by a waving Union Jack courtesy of Bill. We arrived at the ferry exactly on time. The vessel Coastal Inspiration loaded our four rigs skillfully between huge transport trucks. After safely arriving at Duke Point we drove to Campbell River for a lunch break then on to Port McNeill and the Alder Bay Resort. We stopped on the way out of Campbell River at the Ripple Rock Viewpoint. We have a view across the bay of the settlement of Alert Bay and have witnessed two cruise ships carefully navigating their way back South to Vancouver or Seattle. We are anxious to explore Telegraph Cove, Port McNeill and Port Hardy today (Saturday). Tomorrow we have arranged a guide to meet us in Alert Bay for a tour. |
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.
