Bald Eagles overlooking the beachTribune Bay and Helliwell Park provided days of outdoor fun with beautiful sand beaches, a magnificent park on a bluff overlooking the Georgia Straights and Hornby Island trails and hospitality. The long weekend brought a few beach goers and a handfull of boats but everybody left on Monday and we were all alone again.
Helliwell Park - Hornby Island - Our kayak on the beach
Anchoring in Tribune bay is excellent but any SE - SW winds do build up waves quickly. Never a safety issue during our stay, just the trials with the new kayak and Celiedh's trips to the beach for some fun and digging in the sand. After a few trips with waves and more wind we are much more comfortable with our new transport and Celiedh, well, she seems comfortable in any conditions.
We bid farewell to Hornby for now and headed NW up the Straights. Dark clouds and rain surrounded Comox but we skirted the weather and had a beautiful trip to the Copeland Island Marine Park.
So Far - Copeland Island Marine ParkWe have visited here before by kayak out of Lund but just a day trip. This is our first time anchoring and staying overnight in this beautiful location.
Que Sera at anchor
It has a charm and variety only a remote marine park can share with visitors from afar. We spent a few days exploring, kayaking and walking several of the islands within the park and will definately return later.
