There are lot's of places on the Island that are amazing. I'm ashamed I don't take the opportunity to see them. :oops: I should go Pacific Trial, Juan de Fuka trial, go North, try sea kayaking...........

Now I feel like I'm an office slave :(

Way cool you guys! I like the comment from BC parks in their raft cove blurb "The ocean currents are too rough for windsurfing opportunities but board-surfing at Raft Cove is becoming increasingly popular with surfers trying to find new surfing challenges and opportunities." ...more like packing all your crap for an 1hr keeps most wannabe's away!

We had fun. It was a typical malebonding moment when we drank Luckys around the fire and put the fire out by peeing in it. Its just really pretty up there.
