Mitlenatch Island 2011


We'd been by Mitlenatch Island a number of times while on Dorian I, but the seas had always been too rough to stop. This time we were fortunate so we dropped anchor in Northwest Bay and headed ashore for some exploring. The island is a nature preserve so care must be taken to stay on the trails.

As you may be able to discern, the island is essentially a barren desert; it is situated in the Gulf of Georgia at the point where the tides meet after flowing from the north and south.

During the summer the only human inhabitants are the volunteer naturalists who provide information and guidance to vistors. They also engage in artistic endeavours.

Art?

Welcome
