Octopus Islands - NE Quadra Island, BC
Aug. 31, 2023 - Anchored on the SW side of the islands in 35'. Good holding in 15 kt WSW winds. Room for dozens of boats. Kayaked around islets. 6 River Otters swam in front of me. Driftwood Cabin is really cool. Thank you to the owners for allowing public access and the use of your property. Found a trail that crosses the bottom side of the island with a floating dock. Looked into a small abandoned cabin on a mossy rock ledge on the NW peninsula of the largest island.

June 7, 2023 - Anchored in 80' S of the floating dock in the center of the head. We held well on the rocky bottom. Only one mooring ball (there used to be 3). Watched a martin on the smooth rocky shoreline as I kayaked past. Excellent boardwalk trail and hot springs! Perfect temp with colorful mementos decorating the bath house. Thanks to the volunteers who maintain this idyllic place. Music: S...

July 18, 2023 - Anchored in 50', 3:1, W of the island, W of the waterfall. Excellent view of the falls and fish weir. Salmon skipped across the water, almost leaping into the kayak. Locals tied their boats off the steep rocks next to the main falls and the narrower cascade to the R to dip net. Each swipe brought up 1-3 salmon. Most limited out in 15 minutes. An old FS cabin is in the trees betw...

Aug. 26-27, 2022 - Once through the shallow and rocky entrance of Phillips Narrows and a second narrows partway, we anchored in the SE head with views of a small corner cascade and a tidal waterfall. The inlet features a third narrows that leads to a large back lagoon, jumping salmon, and better odds of seeing elusive Kermode Bears. This is part of the Kitasoo Spirit Bear Conservancy and Great ...

May 23, 2023 - Malibu Rapids, fed by Jevis Inlet and Queen's Reach is powerful, even at slack. At the head of Princess Louisa Inlet we were welcomed by fellow boaters at the coveted dock in front of Chatterbox Falls with a black bear across the head. Hiked up to Trapper's Cabin and waterfall. Took a tour of Malibu Club Young Life Camp (thanks Mike). Hiked on Macdonald Island. We watched entranc...

Aug. 12-17 , 2023 - We used the dock this year for 5 days of come-and-go bear watching, including two sets of spring cubs and 6-12 adult bears visiting daily at the waterfall and fish ladder. Do not block the E end of the dock as it's reserved for float planes. A wide 1 mile FS road with abundant wildlife leads to the viewing platform. We enjoy this observatory better than Anan Creek and Pack F...

June 18, 2023 - Our 2nd time temporarily anchoring near the USFS Dinghy Dock in 30'. Held well in moderate current. We visited the cave in 2021, but due to Covid, tours were cancelled, so only walked 50' into the cave. This year, we were unable to make a reservation by phone, but lucked out by showing up early at the trailhead for the 12 pm tour. The group was small so I was welcomed to join by...

Followed the plank trail at the uphill T to upper pool and covered concrete block reservoir with scalding water. 3 crumbling fireplace chimneys are hidden in the trees around the upper bath house.

June 29, 2023 - Anchored in the entrance of West Arm between 3 large rocks in 20' (12' at low tide). Swing room for one large boat, but smaller boats can pass. Very calm. Good set/hold, despite bringing up a large kelp clump. The trailhead is easy to spot in the NW corner with a 3x3' white wooden diamond on a tree.

A fantastic easy hike to the top of the island to walk through the WW2 installation. Most structures are in very good shape. This year, we started to drop the hook 200' from shore, NE of the Artillery Islets, in 30', but saw 6' boulders below (super clear water), so backed up and set in 50' with 3:1 rode. Kept an anchor watch. Swung, but held in fast current change over 6 hours. Easy kayak to t...

What time of year was this
Hi Logan. Late August.
Hey there... Really loved our video. One thing for sure: I wouldn't advise folks use the same access you did from the Old Magazines (# 10) to go down to the Searchlight as this was a waste area. Just before you enter the fort fence line while coming up the main road, you'll notice a path to the right that follows the original road down to Number Two Searchlight. But it's mostly a "sprained ankle" suggestion... People enjoy exploring. Looks you had a great time and there's some more details it's looks like you are excited to learn.... Reach out if you like.
Outstanding.
I wanna buy that and remodel it for my fortress
My family comes from mimkwamlis, such a beautiful place. The population was about 1'800 people in the mid 1800s, its also important to note that smallpox and residential schools were rhe main cause for the abandonment of the village😢
Thanks for visiting Yorke Island. I am glad you enjoyed your time there. Appreciate the video. Sincerely, Yorke Island Volunteers (85VICS)
Thank you, @Spitlebug. Yorke Island was fascinating to explore. If you are one of the volunteers who mows and maintains the trails, THANK YOU!! If you're a soldier who served on the island, THANK YOU EVEN MORE!!
@@marepyke I do indeed maintain the trails and buildings.
We just love seeing all the beautiful places you go. Thanks for sharing. We love you ❤ Hi Oliver & Amelia, from Uncle Jeff & Faith 😊
My dad was a commercial fisherman. I spent 2 summers fishing with him. 1st time when I was 12 and second time when I was 15. I remember Namu being a booming little town when bc packers had the cannery operating the grocery store, restaurant, laundry mat, liquor store and hotels with a bowling alley. I’d imagine the boardwalk to the lake is rotted and gone.
Hi @way2kool100. Lucky you. I bet it was really neat seeing Namu in it's heyday. I could see housetops through the trees up on the hill, but I didn't go ashore. It's still fascinating!
Sure sad to see it like that, a little more is gone every year.
It is sad. A small sailboat was anchored in front of the larger multi-floor buildings and someone was hammering or sawing away on metal inside. Scavenging or salvaging, I don't know.
amazing!
Hi @dewormerreal. It is amazing. If you get the chance to go... DO. The bears are all around (and under) you. lol. The Rangers and biologists know each bear by their markings, scars, geneology, temperment, etc and are happy to share their knowledge.
Wow! Great video!
Hi @faithcrosta3523!! Thank you! I would LOVE for you and Jeff and Judy to see this place. It is so amazing!! A gentleman told me he was waiting for his wife outside the gated platform and felt something brush his pant leg. He looked down and it was a black bear walking by. The man was in his way, so the bear nudged him. Can you imagine? 2 blackies stood within 2-5' of me while we were there. SOOO cool!!!
Nice long slide... I like it.
