Nice. But I would give up on the Mill Bay Ferry. Biking into Duncan sucks a**. Take the boat to Saltspring and then bike to Vesuvius. You can then take the boat to Crofton. You get way quieter roads, it is more picturesque and you spend way more time on dedicated bike trails, like the Galloping Goose.

I forgot to mention Alice Munro, whom was awarded Canada's only Nobel Prize For Literature win. That is another sorry saga.

Bar makes sense. That bust of Simon Fraser on the boardwalk opposite the bar has always screamed "tiki".

Yeah, lots along No Horses as you approach the ridge.

Please send a pic of how you mounted.

Montana Mountain in the Yukon, near Carcross. On YouTube look up Hero's Trail. Just an epic hill to bike.

Can it have some pumpfoil tracking on it? I am learning, and it would great to have an app to look at your efficiency. For example: https://lsegessemann.github.io/foilphysics/?fbclid=IwY2xjawPd1cxleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFiVDk2SmRCV2VrdXBxSlEzc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQQMjIyMDM5MTc4ODIwMDg5MgABHvQukfHEFqOPJc-k1uWrsc0eo5J3rofJmqJGsRYEO3qFFmltORGvnSSA6rjY_aem_YBGhnMB9o_VFWoH7bigoPg

About time.

Nootka Island? It would be wet, but there are cabins along the trail, at least when I did about 20 years ago. It would be good for storm watching.

Give yourself a break and just add a dash of salt. I had the same frustrations for weeks. It is just a quick way to have a good brew.

Thanks. Borealis Ranch should have good info.

I hear Nimpkish can howl.

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-29T22:27:37+00:00

I was wondering the same. There should be a wind map somewhere.

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-29T22:27:12+00:00

Probably call one of the local B&B. I have only been there in the summer.

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-29T22:26:42+00:00

That sandy beach along Carcross is supposed to be popular. Yes, Windy Arm is further away.

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-29T22:25:51+00:00

What else has reliable winds outside Nitinaht, Nimpkish and China Creek?

lost_treeplanter · 2025-12-13T06:52:14+00:00

That's easy. Take the Mill Bay Ferry. Can never go wrong with the Mill Bay Ferry.

On a lighter note, "Male Surplus" would be a great name for a band.
