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.

Wrong Way Al

July 20th, 2010 (Kathy) We were first to leave Tofino so that we could visit with our nephew and family in Port Alberni. We were to meet up with the rest of the COKE group at Wal Mart in P.A., but Al missed the road so we carried on. We had lunch on the side of the road by Cameron Lake while waiting for the others. T&E came along and we followed them all the way into Saanich. I won’t say who, but someone decided he really needed to get fuel before carrying on the last few kms to our campsite. Ted was so gracious to wait on the side of the freeway to show everyone where to turn off, but after successfully making this turn, this certain driver then made a wrong turn (again) and ended up going down a

“ONE-WAY ROAD” the WRONG WAY!! This road turned out to be an EXIT off the freeway! Needless to say, his wife was very upset with him, got out of the truck and directed traffic around this 51 foot truck/trailer while her husband backed up this “WRONG WAY” road for 2 kms until finding a spot to turn around. “Al” is well that ended well....his wife got over being upset when they arrived at their beautiful destination – Oceanside RV Resort. And to everyone’s delight, Will and Anne arrived to join us for a few days.
