 Pacific Northwest, B.C.On Canada's Southern Pacific Coast, Vancouver Island stretches for 300 miles from top to toe, and is Continental North America's largest Island. Its mountainous backbone creates a natural breakwater from the vast expanse of the open Pacific's wild waves and weather. In the lee of Vancouver Island lie the sheltered waters of the Strait of Georgia. This protected body of water becomes a temperate oasis between the months of May and September, offering a diversity of cruising destinations, scenery and history; shoulder season often presents glorious boating weather, without the crowds.
