    Took the ferry from Vancouver to Vancouver Island and then drove North for a few hours. Prepping for a week of camping on a small island accessible only by Kayak in the Johnstone Strait.

    Small island between Vancouver Island and the North American mainland. Camped here for a week....no electric, toilets or anything. Just us and Mother Nature.

    Some nights, Orcas would stay around our island. You fall asleep listening to the Orcas exhaling from their blowholes.

    Eagles everywhere. So majestic. There is one perched on top of the dead tree in the middle.

    Throughout the week, someone would be searching for Orcas migrating down the strait. When they see a fins, we would scramble from our tents, put on our gear and paddle out to meet them.
