Vancouver Island Trip - September 2002

Our trip began and ended in Vancouver. When we started out, we took Marine Drive through UBC and stopped at Spanish Banks Beach.. Here is what Vancouver looked like from the beach:
  On the way back, we visited Granville Island where there are many unique shops. For example there was a workshop on "skin on frame" boats, where the proprietor and a student were making a sea kayak from a wood frame covered with ballistic nylon which was painted with water-based polyurethane - very light and abrasion resistant. The floating houses were interesting too.
The rest of our trip covered Furry Creek, Tofino,Saltspring Islandand Sooke. You can click on the links for a bit of explanation, or just look at thegallery. If you want the high resolution photos, there are in the photos folder (only in the CD version).
