Best of the season to you !

Question...as we plan a trip to Bamfield this August ( knowing it is a ways off ) !

If we drop our boat in Port Alberni at noon....and run down to Bamfield....are we likely to be going into the wind/waves ( and get pounded ) as we make the run ?....or will we more likely to be running with the wind/waves ?

We usually make the run before 7 am ( and wind/waves are not an issue ) .....but this year we cannot leave PA until noon or so.

Please let me know

Thanks FD

Hey Cloud

i run a 24 striper , i usually just go when time allows me , never had an issue , especially in the summer months ,
try ta head up with a buddy boat for the run ,if its a little lumpy , slow down , enjoy the ride.. most likely running against the waves on the way out !!
you'll be fine , the inlet is quite busy that time of year , help is not far off if needed..

gd lk.. maybe well cath up ta ya there !!

off ta fish with the Mills boys as we speak , flat calm out here today..

And if you going out yourself from PA to Bam and you have a good kicker , even if the main stops the wind and a good kicker will get you safely back to China Creek or Port , one good thing about a earlie leave from Port with a inflow in the afternoon LOL

OH OH! This sounds like it could have gone a lot worse?

Waiting with interest to see the report. For now I am glad you are ok.

 

[CCB]

I know its off topic a bit but can anybody tell me if your allowed or not allowed to have camp fires at Poets Nook.My buddy is busting my balls to get a seasonal spot there and then so will they but they said there's only one main fire area .This may be deal breaker for me if I cannot have a camp fire.The wife kids and all my buddies love the fire at camp.My bud is calling the owner to see what up as they have been going there a long time.

Thanks

 

[trophywife]

No fires. Just community pit... The rule sucks but makes sense as the nook is known for quiet nights and early risers.

 

[CCB]

That's the unwritten rule anywhere in these camp spots though and just because there's no fire doesn't mean people will be quite.LOL What about propane fires and or coal bbqs >Also what if I want to stay in a wall tent with a wood burning stove?.

 

[the fog ducker]

lol

wrong camp..x2 with Trophywife , no private fires , its a quiet camp for sure ,
no exceptions , they will boot ya out if you get complaints.
mostly larger rv's and trailers theses days it seems, weekend campers , tenters etc.. mostly seasonal now ..
pretty sure there is a waiting list on seasonal as well , call Marg at the Nanaimo office

LOL yeah I'm in bed by 10 up at 4 everyday have a 36 foot Seneca just weighing out all my options LOL . My bud has been going for 15-20 years and know the owners well. Where not into loud people as where I stay in hardy most regulars that stay a month or longer are 70+ years old and love us.

Thanks for all the help.

And I thought you went to Bamfield for the fishing.

 

[the fog ducker]

ok , little late...

so , great outting last week for 5 days , Weather was decent , almost zero wind , we fished , crabbed , prawned , beachcombed , visited west Bamtown ,
Crabbing is still pretty ummm , terrible actually , BUT , prawning was excellent again , but , the highlight was the fishin this time ... , in 3 hours i think we hit 10 fish , bonked a few for the Barbq , 5-10lbs , all on the bottom on glow needles , Surfline was the ticket , pretty flat day , Jerry n Marco handled most of the action , skippered by the Jew himself , i think i spent most of the time malesting his Dog "Maybe' yes thats what he named him !! might have been the offspring of his other Dog , there not sure , so " Maybe" it was !! lol...my pal..., !!

bit of a scare on the ride home that night ,pitch black we put the boat onto a VERY LARGE logboom , wasnt there earlier !!! I swear ; )... after getting the boat off the bloody logs , then changin my shortz , we laughed and cried for the next 3 days , my gut still hurts,,, in all seriousness , were very lucky , scrapes n bruizes , minor damage to the boat , lesson learned , SLOW DOWN in the dark..

anways , was great hangin with my good pals , Jerry Jeff , we miss ya already ! that was f'n fun man...

hers sum shotz for you shut-ins..

Merry Xmas
