Island Bike Trip


We went on a bike trip to Vancouver Island for a few days to mark a certain occasion.
Bikes have their own air conditioning, but only when you're moving. Temperature was about 35 C.
Clare took most of the shots from the back seat as I was giving her my take on that type of photo.

First Nations Pow Wow











Went to a First Nations gathering in North Vancouver last weekend.
I want to make some more images of the dancers sometime soon, in a more studied manner. Click on the link above to see more color shots.

Rob's Cabin













We went to my buddy Rob's place up the coast for a little R and R and partying.
Rob is a fishing guide and a guy with many talents and can pull a salmon out of a

gumboot if there
is any. We went out for a couple of hours but no luck, so I assume there was not a single fish within 100 miles! There were however, lots of other fruits of the sea such as 9 inch crabs and 6 to a pound prawns. Mighty tasty! If you are looking for a fishing guide, Rob is the man and just let me know and I can hook you up.
Also went up to the Skookumchuck where the kayakers surf the tidal bore ... neat sport! Then on to socializing late into the night at Ken and Jenny's house on the water.
