East Creek on the West Coast of Vancouver Island where it narrows, crosses a sand bar and enters the woods.

We went about 2 miles up East creek. Jim heard a bear in the woods and went to photograph it. I stayed close to the boat!

Jerry headed down East Creek after he saw the bear. He is letting Jim swim home after finishing with the bear. Jerry is in the 12' PortaBote with the 2 HP Suzuki..

There were a lot of rock beds in the creek that we had to portage across. The Portabote weighs 90 pounds with the 2 HP Suzuki attached.

Looking NW from Fairhaven anchorage in Bellingham, Washington.

Headed south along the West Coast of Vancouver Island - looking east toward Tofino
