Subject: Desolation Sound Zodiac Kayak Combo Day Tour!(Posted on Jul 22, 2009 at 01:46PM)
Yesterday we had an awesome day tour...the Desolation
Sound Zodiac and Kayak combo. Its a new tour for us this year and its proving
to be quite popular! I can see why too, personally I really enjoy it!
The morning half of our tour was spent touring around Desolation
Sound, where the guide pointed out evidence of First Nations, old settlers
homestead locations, and told us about Captain Vancouver’s voyage. This area is
rich with history which is just one of the many reasons this place is
fantastic!
A stop near Ray Rock allowed us to view numberous
seals sunning themselves on the shore.
Near Otter Island the low tide had revealed an impressive collection of
sponges, sea stars, tunicates, sea cucumbers and sea weed.
The winds became light as we
unloaded onto a beach and prepared for the second half of the tour. As we set
out in the kayaks the eagles called back and forth. We hugged the shore to
maxmize our intertidal viewing as the new moon is giving us some great low
tides. We meandered our way through the Copeland Island Marine Park, sighting
an oyster catcher pair with chicks and several seal pups! We stopped for lunch,
which the clients really enjoyed, especially the local cheese and unique
homemade cookies. Back on the water we tried to seek out some shade, there was
no wind and it was a hot sunny summer afternoon.
Yet another beautiful day on
the water in this beautiful place…..

The
weather here has been beautiful lately…sunshine, blue skies, light breezes,
perfect kayking weather. We have been seeing some great wildlife on our
kayaking tours lately!
Get
a peak by stepping into the picture with us right here online…
Paddling
close along the shore, looking up at the craggy rock faces we see gnarly
arbutus trees, shore pine and stunted Douglas firs eking out an existence
amongst the moss covered rocks…keep your eye out for the eagles perched there…see
them? Looking downwards into the water it looks like the starry night sky…the
rocks are covered with Ochre stars…look closer and you can see numerous star
species, cucumbers, jellies and more. On top of that we are paddling through numerous
schools of tiny fish. Its no wonder we count half a dozen species of diving and
fish eating birds; kingfishers, mergansers, pigeon guillemots, marbled
murrelets, terns and seals..oh wait those aren’t birds..but hey they’re after
the fish too:)
That’s
just a snippet of what we see on a daily basis in the Copeland Islands Marine
Park...
