Yes, summer adventure season is in full swing here in BC, and I thought I'd post a few pics from the two most recent trips.The first one began with me, rory, and two others sailing from Vancouver to Mayne island over the course of a day. Because we had to sail into the wind, it ended up taking 14 hours and we arrived shortly after midnight. We also found out that our boat had no lights. Anyways, Mayne was nice but not as cool as our bike trip was 2 years ago. We ended up kayaking to a small island near the end of Saturna the next day, and then around Saturna along the Canada/US border and past pender to get back to mayne the following day. There was an incident involving a helicopter... remind me to tell you the story when we're all together again.
Me and my brother drove out to the rockies for a week, and we knocked off the top hike on my must do list: Mt. Assiniboine. We started in Canmore, Alberta, and walked 28km through 3 different national and provincial parks and across the bc/alberta border. We camped at the lake right below Mt. Assiniboine, then hiked to a nearby peak the next day to get a better view of the area. We took a different trail to get out of the park, going through wonder pass which had amazing views of glaciers and huge lakes. There's a few more pics on facebook.
