Journey to Desolation Sound and Toba Inlet

Please note: We use this channel to share our experiences with family and friends across many time zones. We are NOT "building a channel" and are not paid for any products we mention. THIS VIDEO: We spent two weeks (Sept 6 to Sept 19) cruising to Desolation Sound in British Columbia, Canada. Time was spent in the Toba Inlet, Nanaimo, Campbell River, Gabriola, and many other locations. Our Ranger Tugs R-29 CB performed very well and kept us safe. Wind and weather mostly cooperated. The view of the mountains, waters, whales, and such were stunning. Unrivaled beauty was found everywhere. Also everywhere were Ranger Tugs. We saw them close by in EVERY marina and anchorage (Friday Harbor, Nanaimo, Melanie Cove, Laura Cove, Toba Wilderness, Campbell River, Page’s @ Gabriola, and Anacortes). And, of course, we saw them on the water. If you were in these locations between September 6, 2023 and September 19, 2023, your boat may be in this video. Special thanks to Kyle & Andrea of Toba Wilderness. You guys built an amazing marina in a boating paradise. You pointed us to whales, bears, waterfalls, and ancient pictographs. We appreciated it very much. 00:00 - Intro 00:21 - PART 1 - GETTING THERE. 02:00 - Leaving Friday Harbor 0238: - Nanaimo 05:18 - Copeland Islands Marine Provincial Park 06:49 - Reaching Desolation Sound Marine Park 07:27 - PART 2 - BEING THERE. 11:35 - Leaving Melanie Cove for Toba Wilderness Marina 15:42 - Leaving Toba Wilderness for Campbell River 17:58 - Arrival in Campbell River 19:00 - PART 3 - GOING HOME. 19:00 - Leaving Campbell River for Gabriola 20:25 - Arriving in Gabriola 21:01 - Leaving Gabriola 22:22 - Back in US waters Our license allows us to not list the individual music titles, but we do so to support the artists.
