Thanks, John. I never actually went to the Young Life camp at Malibu but I have been through the Malibu Rapids into Princess Louisa Inlet. It’s amazing! And, yes, how can we forget the Backeddy Pub. When I was up there in 2000 a couple of guys from a local shingle mill had rather overdone it in the Backeddy Pub; they smashed their boat into a rock on the way home. They were not happy campers the next morning!

Thanks, Cedarcroft. Right out of high school (in 1970) I worked on a mission ship out of Prince Rupert. We stopped anywhere there were people between Port Simpson and Cape Scott: native villages, lighthouses, logging camps, and salmon canneries. There were a lot more folks living up there then. It really was a wonderful time for me.

Jeff Spira (the designer ) died about 2 years ago. His website, “spirainternational.com”, was shut down.
Keep searching.

So many memories of having stayed at The Back Eddy in Egmont, enroute to Malibu, the Young Life camp, up Jervis Inlet to Princess Lousia Inlet, over the past 20 years.
Dinner at the Pub is the best!!

I thought this was a great, evocative, article (and the photos superb) about the challenges (like HUGE tidal currents) and the rewards (like wildlife and wilderness beauty) that are involved in cruising this area. Took me back and I liked it very much.
