| Nearing the Ballenas Islands |
June 4 was a long one, though not a huge amount of interest to say. Left Newcastle Island mid-morning, paddled the Nanaimo waterfront North, then headed out into the Strait to Georgia. Our objective for the evening was the Ballenas Islands, a small cluster of partially wooded islands located about two miles off the North shore of Vancouver Island. Dealt with some quartering wind, and the weather was hot and sunny, but otherwise unremarkable.
I guess the one remarkable thing is that the Ballenas Islands have a recognized kayak campsite, but also are located in a military weapons testing area (apparently they test torpedoes?) so we were hoping we weren't about to get chased away by the Canadian Navy. But we had no problems--in fact, didn't see anyone out there except for a couple of fishermen enjoying the harbor with us.
