BC d'eh long weekend

For the long weekend Dani and I went to Bowen. We packed light and left on the 8 for an overnight. We rented kayaks when we got there for a couple of hours and tooled up to hood point. Early calm waters allowed us to tan and swim way out in the sound. Once we got back to the shop there was a ton of people heading out so we were pretty stoked on missing the crowds and choppy water.

We then picked up some beer and headed to sandy beach for more sun. after a few hours we continued our way up to mt Gardner. The nine km hike from the cove to the helipads felt long after a full day in the sun. It only took us a few hours though and we made it in time to make dinner and hang before the sunset. We set up camp on the pad, played some cards and took in the view. The sunrise woke us up and it was pretty unbelievable.

Once we packed up we headed down and got some breakfast at the snug. Then we caught the 12:30 back to HB. Pretty awesome being out in the sound on a beautiful bc day.
