Most people hate Monday mornings at the office. This is how Wild Coast Publishing started the work week aboard the MV Wild Coast. And this was taken after they passed the back deck! 😃

The status of one of the top kayaking destinations has changed and public access is now uncertain: "As result of the July 2024 British Columbia Supreme Court decision and Title Declaration parts of the Nuchatlitz Protected Area are now Aboriginal title lands held by the Nuchatlaht and the Park Act no longer applies to these areas. Visitors to the area are encouraged to ensure they are not trespassing on the title lands and to contact the Nuchatlaht Nation for more information about permissible uses on the declared title area."

Unexpectedly heavy marine traffic in Nanaimo Harbour.

Please add Wild Coast Publishing to any list of businesses being crippled by the Canada Post strike. As an online store, we are faced with the prospect that shipping is now as expensive as the revenue we can expect from our products, which is untenable. Additionally, courier costs are rising, in some cases dramatically as prices are rejigged to deal with increased demand. Canada Post must go to binding arbitration for this strike to be resolved before entire sectors of the Canadian economy are decimated.

Wild Coast Publishing has added two new mapsheets today, finishing the route around Vancouver Island with #245 Quatsino Sound/Brooks Bay. It only took us five years! 😃

We're stuck! The Canada Post strike has essentially shut down our online store. Courier is too expansive an option for small maps normally shipped by letter mail. To compensate, we're offering a discounted flat rate for shipment by UPS. This is a great opportunity to expand your kayaking reference library and a chance to get courier service heavily discounted! Also, keep in mind maps make an excellent Christmas stocking stuffer for the kayaker who has everything!

BC Coast Photo of the Day: Our favorite location this summer for a visit was the waterfall at Teakerne Arm, West Redonda Island. The view from above is great, but clamboring into the waterfall is even better.

BC Coast Photo of the Day: This fellow posed for us, so we obliged with a photo. Is he handsome? A bit ragged maybe, but he offers a decent profile. We named him Philbert.

BC Coast Photo of the Day: If you explore Shelter Inlet near the mouth of Megin River in north Clayoquot Sound, you will find a narrow tidal passage that leads to a small basin and this delightful little waterfall. It is worth seeking out. The location is pinpointed in our mapsheet #207.

Continuing the Wild Coast rant on how antiquated and inaccurate Environment Canada's marine weather forecast system is, check out their online map used to identify weather regions. Have you ever seen a worse map of British Columbia? Apparently Cortes and the Redonda Islands are one land mass, Johnstone Strait is adjacent to the BC mainland its entire length, Quadra Island doesn't exist and there are blobs and areas that don't exist. This is the best they can do? Really?

BC Coast Photo of the Day: No matter how perfect the view, Mother Nature always finds a way to add details to make it that much better.
