They disappeared for Tofino in the morning but we explored the island. Great place to visit, easy walk to Town where we stayed at the Seine Boat Inn. Took just over two hours return via Powell River as it is almost direct.

I remember taking a water taxi to Alert Bay in the 50's for hospital visits and baseball tournaments. 30-year Mayor Gilbert Popovich (also the town taxi driver), together with legendary flying doctor Jack Pickup pushed for funding and building the airport back in the late 70's. Jack had a Waco AQC-6 cabin biplane CF-CCW, that I once saw him flip in Nimpkish Lake ("don't know whether to log that as a takeoff or landing" quipped a dripping Jack at the time). Gilbert flew a C150 for a while ("hey, I'm a taxi driver, not a doctor", he told me). Thanks for the pictures!
