We had a very pleasant ferry trip aboard the M/V Columbia.
Including dinner and breakfast in the restaurant. Contrary to custom in North America the restaurant was full of signs with “tipping forbidden”!
When we asked why, the answer was that sometime in the late nineties the waiters had stated earning more than the captain. And that could not be!
We got ashore and checked in to the Sportsman’s association campsite, complete with a shooting range. And VERY conveniently located just 500 m from the ferry terminal and run by a friendly man called John.
After having parked the kayaks, we took the once per hour bus toward town to shop ten days supplies.
The bus driver was a friendly guy and explained that we pay by dropping dollars into a box. He asked where we were going and suggested we pay for all three trips we’d need at once. But no tickets?? No need this line had just one driver.
Shopping took a couple of hours and then it was time for a bit of food from the adjacent fast food place. There you can have any food you like as long as it is deep fried chicken
We managed to pitch the tents under a tiny roof, just as well because the rain sounded like a train passing as it hit the roof during night.
We were a bit apprehensive because both at the ferry terminal and the bus driver warned us that there was a bear with two cubs hanging around.
We slept tight anyway, but in the morning the dustbins were turned over. So there had been a nightly visit…
Tomorrow we paddle off.
We expect to be out of communication except satellite for six to nine days.
The map tracker in the menu of this site should work and give our location when we are on the water.
