August 30: Freighter from Campbell River to Friendly Cove

Our next adventure was an all day trip on a working freighter from Campbell River to Friendly Cove. We had to leave very early in the morning and drive to the other side of the island to catch the freighter.


This area has major logging towns

Co, Flo and Luey enjoying the ride.

One group of folks brought their kayaks and were dropped into the water to continue their journey.


We all found comfortable places to rest while we traveled the seas.


Enjoying our soup for lunch.

Views were awesome !



Freigher UChuck II docked in Friendly Cove where we disembarked to tour the island.

One of the totems just laying on the ground in the woods.  The people on the island do not plan to restore them.

The Church on the island had many totems on their alter.


Petroglyphs on the rocks along the way.
We had a wonderful experience there which included meeting most of the 7 residents on this island. One resident prepared a Bar-b-que Salmon on an open fire on the beach. What a surprise to have such a treat for lunch. He just provided a large piece of salmon on foil and we ate it with our fingers...........
now that was mmmmmmm good
