The Sunshine Coast *is* on the mainland.
:-)

Rather than try to run all the way over there from Victoria, you
can
launch
your boat from Vancouver, Gibsons, Garden Bay, or somewhere else on
the
East
Side of Georgia Strait. Boating out of Victoria, proper, may offer
you
fewer
interesting small boat options than launching at Sidney.

Maybe take the ferry boat over to the mainland from the Northern part
of the
island. Then check out the Sunshine Coast on the way back down.

Or check out Alaska. Calif. Bill thinks it's local to Victoria!!!!!
