Last days at Skookumchuck!

For the next five days or so, we spent our mornings at the BackEddy Pub and Marina, and our evenings at the wave.

Like clockwork, at 7:30 am, Todd and I would wake up, sneak into
the van, grab some breakfast food, and shut the door as quickly as
possible before waking Bryan. Needless to say, we never did get our
food out without waking him up... Sorry!

Todd and I would make breakfast, toast some bagels (more of a burn
than a toast), make some oatmeal and chat with Trevor for a few hours.



 

Mmmmm... eggs! (Photo by: Kim Russell)



By 10:00 am, Bryan would be up, we would all do a quick internet
session, then either log footage from the day before or look at photos.

 

By noon, we would wander down to the BackEddy Pub for some quick, 
delicious grub, then make our way down the road to the trailhead for
Skook.

Towards the end of our stay at Skook, we made it out to the wave early enough for it to still be slack tide (no moving water). We were able to wander around the tide-pools and check out all the cool sea-life.

Not to mention, watching the wave grow from nothing... it's pretty cool.
