5 days on a Landing Craft in the Strait of Georgia
Helen and Richard Spencer, Associate Professor Emeritus, Civil Engineering

Description: In October 2024, together with 4 friends, we spent 5 nights on the Aurora Explorer, a 135 foot landing craft that can carry 12 passengers while delivering and picking up freight in the protected waters between Vancouver Island and the BC mainland. Marine Link operate the vessel on two routes out of Campbell River. We were on the Broughton Island Archipelago route, which sails through Seymour narrows, Discovery Passage and Johnstone Strait, calling at logging and fishing camps, lodges, fish farms and private homes, and making recreational stops to allow passengers to go ashore. We will briefly review what these tours offer, and share some experiences from our trip.
