are up to eight float plane flights
to and from Seattle, Vancouver, and
Campbell River. For seaplane

For first-time
boaters in the area, a guided
learning cruise is offered by
Richmond Sailcraft.
Captain Warren Hale or one of his
other skilled instructors take you
on a 9-day adventure aboard a
44-foot C&C. Besides operating
the boat while underway, you will
learn about the local conditions,
including tides, weather patterns,
and the locations of the best
moorages.
Visitors who skipper their own boats
usually rely on nautical charts
published by The Canadian
Hydrographic Service. These
charts are available at most marine
chandleries along the coast of
British Columbia, and at the Refuge
Cove General Store. Charts
covering these waters include
-
300101 (Vancouver Island...)
-
351301 (Strait of Georgia Northern
Portion)
-
353801
(Desolation Sound and Sutil
Channel)
-
355504 (Refuge Cove)

Victoria to Powell River, and drive
the short distance northward to
Lund. From there, a private
boat or the
Lund Water Taxi can take
visitors the rest of the way to
Refuge Cove, about 13 miles.
