VARGAS ISLAND

Cheryle & I visited this island, July 2000

This small island is off the west coast,
north west of Tofino, Long Beach area.
no roads, no cars, stepping back in time...
To share the photos of this adventure.



The Vargas Island Inn
Was built in 1908,
it's beautiful & sleeps about 40 people comfortably
Yes, running hot & cold water, flush toilets & fridge
( ICE )
for the Happy Hour





Cheryle, walking Ahous Bay,
Wolf Country
right on the west coast, facing Japan
We Paddled about 3 hours, to reach this Bay,
it's even more beautiful than it looks here.





The Spirit Mist
Was a wonderful friend.... Having a rest on the beach.




The Fog,
as it rolls in & out, the Islands disappear & return again & again.




This might not look like an exciting photo,
BUT
there is more to this than looks
Cheryle ( under direct orders )
actually packed all her clothes into this one small red bag.
( a miracle )

as we are preparing to launch in Tofino.
I had to leave plenty of room in the boats for the Scotch,
Oh,,, I mean safety supplies & scientific equipment"



No Lunch would be complete, without "Hawkins Cheezies"
as we enjoy this make shift picnic table on the beach.

We put this red life jacket on the pole,
to scare off the wolves
an old Indian trick...
Don't laugh it worked,
you can't see any wolves can you








Cheryle, after Kayaking around Vargas Island

A WOLF !
