2008 Aug 9 - GiO Birthday

This boat charter traveled to the southern Gulf Islands to celebrate Captain GiO's 35th birthday. We traveled across the Strait of Georgia, ending in a great anchorage called Clam Bay off the southern tip of Gabriola Island. Saltspring Island is a fantastic place to disembark and go out for dinner at the Treehouse Cafe. This is a first rate choice for good food and location if you are not in a rush. Active Pass should be negotiated at slack tide as there are many whirlpools to navigate. From the BC Ferries these whirlpools sure look a lot smaller!
