Short cruise over to Gambier Island (May, 2021)

Port Graves (from Bert's Bluff, Gambier Island)

First time out before the Summer. Headed over to Gambier Island (Howe Sound) and anchored for a couple nights near Camp Artaban.

Did a long hike, first up to Bert's Bluff, then along a route-only "trail" (trail markers but no "trail") from Bert's Bluff to Lost Lake, then back to Artaban via a real trail (albeit, not easy). A tiring day!

Didn't get much "sailing" in, but it was nice to get out (especially since we hadn't skied since March).



[The Provincial Health Officer ordered Whistler-Blackcomb Ski Area to close back in March, due to Covid. Not unexpected, given the large number of visitors to Whistler from Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, and even, somehow, the USA. Whistler's case numbers exploded in February/March.]
