One For the Pilots out there


Here is a view of the pilots controls from one of the planes I go in....

Views from one of my Communities

The mountians go on forever it is soooooo peaceful here.... At least most of the time....
No wonder the elders miss this place when they are not here.....




The view of the harbour

This is where the plane leaves me every week.....
The picture below is of the Dock in Zeballos
This is a picture standing on the dock looking over the water....
From the dock looking toward one of the comminitys I visit which is about 2 Km from town...(the white buildingd in the distance)...A diffrent angle from the dock








More Photos from the air.

Yes the Views are beautiful




Open Ocean off in the distance there....






Veiws from the Air on my way out to my remote communities

As you can see it really is a float plane I'm in. Yes in bad weather it can be a bit ruff (the flight that is)....

Fog coming in off the open Ocean.

Kind of cool seeing the fog bank from this view point.....
.....And now we are right on top of it....

Friendly Cove

The boat at the dock at Friendly Cove



The Light house at Friendly Cove.

This is the home of the Family who lives full time out at Friendly Cove




One of the Views on the way out to Friendly Cove.



Friendly Cove is where Captain Cook first met the First Nations peoples of Nootka sound. There is still one family who still lives there and takes care of the land. Every year a campout happens there and everyone finds it refreshing to be there. It is also called Yuquot which means where the four winds blow. During the summer there is a boat that goes out there twice a week for 1.5 hrs to 3 hrs depending on the day. It takes about 2 hrs each way but worth the trip here are some pictures taken on my trip out.......
