I have sailed this coast, visited Butedale, stopped in Hartley Bay and then cruised north through the beauty of Grenville Channel. My daughter and I pulled a crab trap completely filled with crabs as we prepared to leave our anchorage tucked in behind a little island along the east side of Grenville Channel. Wonderful place to cruise, weather and all! When I was last in Butedale (in 1998) one man was still living there, trying to single handedly save the buildings from ruin. The lights were still on night, I guess he is gone now.

Fantastic! Glad you’ve gotten to experience the magic of this place first hand! And jealous you found crabs! We’ve heard interesting stories of a caretaker in Butedale but he’s no longer there.

Allison & James, I just moved to the PNW and hope to get out as you two did/are. I can fit all the information I know about sailing on a post card written with a Sharpie! You two are inspiring me to go forth. Johnny Ray PS, Is it bad luck to name the boat before you get her?
@AllisonandJamesSailing 11 сағат бұрын
Johnny! Thank you so much for your generosity and support! We really appreciate it so much🙏🏽 And congratulations on moving to the PNW, we hope to see you out there! The inside passage is a great place to learn, or at least it was for us! Reach out if we can help with anything! Re naming the boat, depends how superstitious you are!?haha

In the early 1970’s I was doing concert touring (folk songs) to remote areas of BC and the Canadian north. My partner and I flew in to Ocean Falls on a float plane, gave a concert that night, and flew out the next day. We would have stayed in that hotel.

Oh that’s really neat! I bet that brought you to some pretty amazing and unique places💫
@heatherstubbs6646 4 күн бұрын
@ It certainly did. We worked for a concert touring agency in Vancouver whose mandate was to send concerts out to remote places where people couldn’t get to good entertainment. I’ve been all over the Canadian north, from Inuvik to Churchill, and we even went into Southwest Alaska. Not only the north, though. I’ve seen a lot of western Canada. Hard work, though. Only fit for young people! 😂

No worries. It’s a rafting marina so there’s technically ‘always room’ but last time we were there you couldn’t live-aboard more than 30% of the month or something like that. Unsure if they’re accepting live-aboards now, it’s becoming harder and harder to find the further South you go

Interesting, we moved to Sechelt, BC from Gibsons, BC in end of 2011 and I always used to walk our Yellow Lab Cody, through Mission Trailer Park in Sechelt, were I met a G. Johnston, who was at the mill till it was de-commissioned in 1981. He bought a Mobil home in the Mission Trailer park when it was just established where he retired, his love of fishing carried on till 2016 (likely from all the fishing he did in Ocean Falls when he was not working) when his age slowed him down, he recently passed away from Parkinson's likely caused my the toxic mill environment.

Fascinating video. I worked there in the mid 90's for a helicopter logging company operating in the lake above the dam. fascinating aspects of OF including the legendary swimming program, superbly equipped hospital and also the old original cemetery with graves going back to the early years of the 20th century. Amazing stories there
