These three days were simply GORGEOUS with only rain in the evenings.
And early on the first morning there was very little traffic all the way from Alder Bay to Woss. Nice!
My night at Alder Bay presented another First for me: Whales!
All night the whales were breaching and the sound of their spray was easily heard in the quiet surroundings.
A playful seal was also frolicking in the small bay just downhill from my campsite and his very loud “clapping” was great entertainment, especially when his timing coincided with something I was doing on the shore.
It’s nothing short of amazing how quickly we creatures gravitate towards each other and earnestly seek to connect with one another.
Next time you find yourself out in nature — even if it’s just in your own backyard — watch and marvel at how many people are trying in some way or another to participate with the animals.
Dr. Doolittle may have been the only human purported to actually speak with the animals, but that certainly hasn’t kept the rest of us from trying.
Sayward, Vancouver Island
I’m four days outside of Victoria, BC and I’m already encountering a lot more traffic and people.
I’m not fond of big cities, especially riding the scooter and pulling the trailer.
I’ve been told that there is a bike trail that goes into the city, but I’ve been told a lot of things recently that haven’t been completely true or honest.
Since I haven’t heard back from the scooter retailer in Victoria about replacing my rear suspension bushings, I think I’ll just pass straight through and catch the ferry to the USA as soon as possible.
I don’t relish the thought of staying extra days in the bowels of a big city, and since no one here seems all that interested in the Journey I might as well just exit as soon as I arrive.
Oh! BTW, today I filed an application with Guinness World Records to officially recognize my Journey as a published world record.
The process currently takes up to 12 weeks to apply and then up to another 12 weeks to review the documentation and confirm the achievement.
The GWR site said that they normally receive 1000 record applications each week.
Well, this week, I’m one more in a thousand!…

I have been following your adventures since I talked with you at your first stop at Kitwanga campground! What a journey you have had ! I’m so glad you are getting closer to home and haven’t had too many bad experiences! Keep the posts coming!!
Thank you, Susan. Getting from Kitwanga north to Alaska was quite a challenge. Getting back through Kitwanga was a similar challenge. Hopefully I’ll be back in the States this coming week. Thanks for following along!
