Looking out at Loudoun Channel. Another day when it might be easy to boat from Barkely to Clayoquot and back. Or not.

It turned out that it isn't free or overnight.

Up in the morning and on my way by 5:30. A classic cell phone shot with my finger in the picture.

The "free overnight" Grice Bay boat launch on Clayoquot Sound. Usable only at high tide.

I was hoping for something bigger based on the size of my lure. Oh well, I'll take it.

Another glorious morning outside with no wind and an invisible swell. The swell was so far apart that it only became apparent when near a shoal (suddenly a big splash) or when on plane (upppp and dowwwn).

In the evening, I would head in to the back waters of Clayoquot for a quiet anchorage.

Returning to Tofino, a memorial had been set up for the three missing fishermen, although many people were still searching.

To paraphrase the famous line from the movie Jaws, "we're going to need a bigger pot."

Returning back towards Tofino outside of Flores Island. I fly fished for black rock fish until they had broken all my tippets and made off with all my flies. Good fun.

This high-brow graffiti is new. The boardwalk is due to be torn out and replaced this year, but I'm sure the classy vandals will return.

A couple days later, I went to Hot Springs Cove. I hadn't been there since 1998. The dock had the same number of boats as before, but beware. Both the boats and the float planes run a rotation by bringing people in and picking up a prior load of tourists. Even with watching for an opening like this, there were still +20 people at the pools. And the planes make two passes. Once to see if it's clear and once to land. So the picture is a little deceptive.

The Ahousat General Store was interesting. It has a fuel dock, basic groceries (unrefrigerated), and an odd assortment of hardware, some of it recycled. I snooped around as much as I thought was socially acceptable.

Marktosis is interesting, though not very photogenic. The beaches, however, are nice.

I would always be treated to a show on shore. This is a dancing sasquatch.

I was watching schools of bait fish winding around in the cove and didn't see him come out of the woods. The first night's anchorage turned out to be a popular promenade. This one had just come from the beauty parlor.

The Tofino Port Authority launch. I ended up leaving in the evening because the launch was busy all afternoon removing a sunken boat in a multi-fatality incident.
