For those of you who who are interested in gunkholing (and who isnt?), Id like to call your attention to a recent trip made by some purists at the sport.
Barkley Sound is on the southwest side of Vancouver Island, BC, Canada and a more wild and beautiful place would be hard to find.

Inside Barkley Sound is an archipelago called the Broken Island Group, which is where we find our intrepid sailors. The story of this trip unfolds in a series of postings on the Woodenboat Forum. You dont have to be a member of the forum to read and enjoy this tale.
