Inc. located right here on Vancouver Island. This summer a few friends and I will attempt to kayak through Vancouver Island by sea kayak. The trip begins at sea level, is 157 km long, rises upward 2 km, and crosses the complete width of Vancouver Island from Cambell River on the east coast to Bedwell Sound on the west coast.<br />The trip entitled "A Slice Through Paradise" is being documented to show how fragile the spectacularly pristine state of our Island is.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1630296051377093922-5802699428786841038?l=aslicethroughparadise.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Robin (Atlantis Kayaks)http://www.blogger.com/profile/01858282550450515618noreply@blogger.com0
