Sailing BC's Barkley Sound on Vancouver Island's West Coast

[@sailorstu]

Thank you for sharing, what a beautiful region. I am planning on making same trip in the spring. That face in the cliff is amazing.

I would say the fish are a ball of herring. I used to see them all the time as a kid when boating in Desolation Sound.

@@duncanmuir9275 yes you’re probably right. That was also our conclusion. We asked the staff at the Ucluelet Aquarium, but they couldn’t say for sure.

Wonderful video. I sailed there from Victoria for the first time about 5 years ago. I haven't been up the east side since.

Great video! I always bring a hummingbird feeder to the West Coast of the Island. I don't know why, but there are plenty out there. I've had four at the feeder, three or four hovering, and five or six sitting on the lifeline, all waiting their turn! Next time you're up Lucky Creek there's a steep path with ropes on the starboard side of the falls, much easier that what you did! Wow! Thanks for the video!

[@SailingSVIndigo]

@@BertVermeerSailing thanks! We had heard we might see a lot of hummingbirds out there! Good idea on the feeder. Will have to look for the rope path next time. 👍🏻

Did 5 days there in kayaks in 95, only ran into a few people. Need to go back, great place.

Lovley area - good videography

Love love love this episode!!! Such great footage and cool details about this amazing place! Plus Jim helped a beautiful hummingbird!!! ❤

[@SailingSVIndigo]

@@afriesen72 thank you! Yes that poor little guy couldn’t find his way out from under the dodger. Glad to help!

[@gregsage1605]

Lots of great experiences!

[@heatherkent4127]

We spent a couple days in Jacques Jervis Lagoon a couple years ago and we had a similar hummingbird encounter there! He checked out everything red on our boat and then got stuck in behind the dodger for a while, but eventually figured out his escape on his own.

Good one.

My back yard , and so much to explore .

West coast Vancouver Island looks more prehistoric than the East Island coast

[@Trueblue1061]

Wow - what an amazing video. You have now become my favourite sailing channel. Can't wait to see more. I wanted to ask you at the 10 minute mark there is a small floating hut of some sort. Did you ever check it out?

[@gregmollon]

That is a private floathouse. There are many in Barkley Sound.

[@SailingSVIndigo]

@@Trueblue1061 thanks so much! Yes we saw a couple of those floating fishing cabins but nobody there.

[@Trueblue1061]

@@gregmollon interesting - how remote!

[@aeastman59]

Just found your channel... we just bought a 1985 ben.first 38 we have to fix up... where did you get your nice spray hood/dodger? we will need to find a good source to get one... these spots you found are beautiful!

[@GeorgeGraves]

Everything on your boat, all the lines and equipment is in new looking condition. Do all y'all just throw stuff out when it gets dirty/scrached?

[@neilstevens7837]

i am a avid kayaker and have seen whales, sea lions, seals, bears and many more things in the broken group. you missed the best parts of the broken group.

[@SailingSVIndigo]

We did see some sea lions, seals and an orca later on, but not like we’ve seen in other areas. Thanks for the comment. 👍🏻

Nice video, but you might as well get things right - it's Berkeley Sound, same as UC Berkeley. Americans just don't pronounce it correctly. You know the old question - if a tree falls in Berkeley Sound, does anybody hear it?

[@SailingSVIndigo]

@@davemacmurchie6982 thanks will work on our Canadian accents!

[@taylorjs2534]

@@SailingSVIndigo Barkley Sound is correct.
