In this video, we take the ferry over to nearby Quadra Island and explore the Lucky Jim Historic Mine. Then we take a walk along picturesque Rebecca Spit.
I provide footage of the ocean spits large boulder and driftwood beach, views across to the coastal mountains to the east and the sheltered anchorage of Heriot Bay.

Fun to see the BC sites
Another excellent video. Love BC and all the beauty, eh!
Nice!
This makes my heart ache. So many bare boat charters in desolation sound & Strait of Georgia, Octopus Islands, Princess Lousia Inlet, Forbes Bay, etc. Thanks for taking me along. Its 100 and something in the Coachella Valley but headed to Priest Lake Idaho for 2-1/2 weeks. Check out Priest Lake.
Love the speedboats at the end, boy can they move.! Thanks for a day out on Quadra.
Love taking ferry rides up there. So beautiful!
We certainly have it pretty good as full time RV'ers. We get to enjoy this area of Vancouver Island all summer which is gorgeous and then head out adventuring south in the winter. If there is a circumstance that dictates that we spend a winter here in the RV, it is mild enough that it is OK to do. We are very lucky.
Thanks for taking us along Ray. It really is beautiful out there. God bless you and your family.
Love that place, will be going back next year and to Cortez Island.
On that nice of a day I definitely would have gone swimming with your nephew! What a beautiful spot and daytrip.
Looks like a beautiful spot and a gorgeous day to enjoy it, thanks for taking us along!
Very relaxing , thanks Ray
Ray & Ann, thanks for nice trip! Didn't know there was a steam donkey on the island....very interesting. I will have to visit it the next time I am up that way.
Well since I've never and likely won't ever get to Quadra Island...been close but never did. Anyways you luckily went and I love your videos so here we go...my almost real life adventure LOL...Only bummer is it's not over an HOUR long. Love your music you played in this also...good choices keep it up!
Also how's your STARLINK working out? Mines running great in Northern Ontario (East of Sault Ste. Marie Ont) on the Highway 17 East Trans Canada!
Unreal beauty isn't it, how can anyone like Florida? Florida the flat-sandy tower walls of high rises lining the whole beaches ugh. Look at this man!
Looks pretty nice, I have been stuck in Phoenix 100-115° F weather most of the summer working, headed to the big Island of Hawaii for 18 days 69 to 80 F. 👊👍😎
great vid ray,
Very nice Ray. :)
Just wanted to say again that I really enjoy seeing more things around your area. That area has so many fantastic places to explore. Hope you can do more of them. Know you have lots to do and do like the Mod’s and DIY projects. I was google looking around. One day will do in person. Ha. Know you have been to Elk Falls. Looks like an amazing place to go. Maybe a day trip there ? Canyon View Trail Bridge, Deer Falls, and that Elk Falls suspension bridge !! Wow
My children live on Quadra Island and our twin grandchildren love it! They ride bikes, go to the local grade school, library, grocery store, the open market when they can. Both parents work on the island, Heriot Bay Inn and Taku Resort, teach voice lessons, and are in the process of developing a photography business on island and Vancouver island. I have walked the Spit and the lovely open area at the center for a picnic or a festival.thanks for letting me take a virtual hike there. Charlotte Maffin, Idaho
Love your drama free video's. Yer about the only R.V. folks I watch anymore. Good stuff bro, all the rest should watch you so they can learn how to be drama free. Again, good stuff always.
Thanks. :)
👍👍
You're making want to spend some time on those Islands. Beautiful. Your camera is really taking some great video. You can rent the Pacific Yellowfin by the week. Luxury Yacht rental company owns it. 95k a week. They must include the crew to run it. I googled the boat. Thanks for sharing your vacation time.
Wow! 95K
Another fun adventure. So many cool spots up there. Are you all going to be able to enjoy the boat at all this summer?
Unfortunately, not this summer, Anne is having some joint pain issues, so she decided not to launch.
I was hoping she could get out on a calm day. I sure hope you all can find something to help her out with that.
Hey Ray, do you guys have an “our story” video where you talk about your history and the life path that lead you to full time rving. You are a very interesting guy, i would love to hear more about your previous life. My wife and I are in preparation mode, and i have watched at least half of all your videos. Thanks
Thanks. :) No, haven't done too many videos about our history and preparing for the lifestyle, we don't do our videos as a couple like lots of other CZcamsrs, Anne has her own separate photography thing going on, also we started full-timing over 8 years ago and vlogging wasn't that popular, mostly it was blogging back then. I didn't even have a blog or CZcams channel, but Anne had her photography blog up and running and wrote a bunch of posts about the transition. You can find them here in this blog category, they are listed in reverse chronological order - annemckinnell.com/category/1i-am-changing-my-life/ Cheers! Ray
Are ferry rides expensive in that area? We have enjoyed you sharing videos about this area of Canada.
It varies depending on how far the trip is. Here is a link to all the ferry route rates - www.bcferries.com/files/fares/pdf_format/BCF_Fares.pdf
Hey Ray; thought I'd share a really cool Google Maps tip that I learned the other day. Put your route into GMaps, and instead of choosing the Car route, choose Bike and voila when you look at the route details you get your Elevation changes listed.
Thanks, Maxx, I knew that one, but lots of times it won't show routes bikes can't go on like Interstate highways, etc. However there is a cool site that does a great job, check it out at theflattestroute.com The guy took it over from the old www.flattestroute.com/ and has been actively developing it. Cheers, Ray
thanks for sharing. I plan to head to Campbell River in Sept to visit family. I think instead of going to Tofino, I might just head over to Quadra Island where I used to stay when I was a teenager I was even thinking of going over to Cortez Island as well. Does the mine and Rebeccas Spit shop up on Google maps?
Yes. :) goo.gl/maps/bZ5DTgbPb5sMQQNB6
Ray the harbour beside rebecca spit is Drew Harbour - not Heriot bay - Heriot bay is the next bay over where the ferry landing is.
Thanks for the correction I had figured it was all Heriot Bay. Cheers, Ray
@@LoveYourRV keep the great videos coming - you and ann need to do another trip on snoopy!
We really enjoy your videos, they’re so beautiful. However being from Chicago we’re not familiar with all those coastal terms you use. We can ask Alexa what an estuary is, but had no luck asking her what a spit is 😂
Thanks. :)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spit_(landform)
A spit or sandspit is a deposition bar or beach landform off coasts or lake shores. It develops in places where re-entrance occurs, such as at a cove's headlands, by the process of longshore drift by longshore currents. The drift occurs due to waves meeting the beach at an oblique angle, moving sediment down the beach in a zigzag pattern. This is complemented by longshore currents, which further transport sediment through the water alongside the beach. These currents are caused by the same waves that cause the drift
That's actually REALLY funny....spit! I know I lived on the Island for a bit and in the Vancouver area and one that always got me was Dees Slough...I called it Slaw and everytime I did not only did people laugh but corrected me...it never worked I called it Dees Slaw....It's a tunnel that goes under the Slaw to allow ships to pass over LOL...
hi
Gotta luv the geoengineering in the thumbnail. Tax money hard at work lol
I always thought it was a natural occurrence.
I thought this vid was made in the 80's
:-)) :-))
Making me home sick
