Yikes.

Yikes indeed!

It's 7am right now, so the temp is at the "low" at about 6C. Yesterday was
beautiful: sunny, 10C, ... Gotta get out in a boat!

How far is the sunshine coast from Victoria? Thinking of a camping /
fishing trip to Vancouver Island this coming summer. Cambell river and
Tovino / Uculet areas.

Basically, the Sunshine Coast is the other side of Georgia Strait from
Nanaimo. Victoria is farther south. You might want to consider one of BC
Ferries' "Circle Tours" - you start on the Mainland, go to Victoria, north
up the Island, then across to the Sunshine Coast and back south.

Strathcona park is nice toward the north, Campbell River area. Or if
you're adventurous, Cape Scott Park at the northern tip ( )

But be sure to check out "WCVI" (West Coast Vancouver Island)!
