Vancouver Island is my home and has been for most of my life. It is also where I do most of my exploring. I arrange most of the field trips for our photography club and this always has me looking for new places to visit and new events to attend.

In July of 2007 a group of photographers from our our club boarded the 105 foot and 70 year old working freighter, the MV Lady Rose, in Port Alberni.

We would be cruising out to the Sechart Lodge in Barkley Sound to drop off kayakers and then would cruise through the Broken Islands Group to Bamfield before returning to Port Alberni that evening.
