Rita and Vaughan Balaam went on a two month trip along the BC central coast to Haida Gwaii in 2019. They spent twenty days exploring Haida Gwaii, an archipelago of 150 rocky islands, aboard their lovely Rhodes 48 ketch Baraka Bashad. Nicknamed Canada’s Galapagos for the diverse plant and animal life, the islands boast some of the world’s richest heritage treasures with more than 500 archeological sites. They also spent many days on the Central Coast with visits to Butedale, Shearwater and Ocean Falls.
Experienced cruisers, Rita and Vaughan have prepared a photo diary of their trip, sure to engage and delight BCA members who are either planning to visit the area in the future, are looking to reminisce on their own past journeys, or are simply interested in this beautiful and fascinating region of BC.
All BCA members are invited to join us at this, VI South’s first virtual club night of the year. BCA VI members will receive Zoom link via email in the days leading up to the event, and BCA members from other chapters are invited to contact Dani [1] for the link.
