Left Goldstream Provincial Park, BC
Temps: 22C
Sunny
We headed out of the park by late morning and started up towards Nanaimo with intentions to go to the ferry to Powell River out of Courtenay. The drive at times had some breathtaking views from the heights of the islands and straits between Vancouver Island and the mainland.
We made it to the ferry with about ten minutes to spare. 
What fun you can have on a ferry!
An hour and twenty five minutes later we were driving through Powell River looking for a park that still had available campsites. It being Friday night the weekend campers had almost everything sewed up. We found the last tent site for twenty miles around in Malaspina half way to SlatteryBay and set up the tent and sleep gear, then off back to Powell River for a slide show and a bookreading/signing by author Wayne Lutz. Wayne lives on a floating cabin complete with a floating garden on Powell Lake, a fresh water glacier lake not far from the town of Powell River.
