So nice to get out in the boat for a quick cruise when it (briefly) stopped raining yesterday! #bamfieldboundlodge #emeraldoceancharters #bamfield #bamfieldinlet #grapplerinlet #harbourseal #heron #baldeagle #westcoastbestcoast #pnw #pnwonderland #explorevancouverisland #kidsonboats

Blue bird day on the water! #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #bamfield #grapplerinlet #headingout #outoftheharbour #thisiswinter #westcoastbestcoast #pnw #pnwonderland #vancouverisland

I was down on the dock between rain showers this afternoon, when a rainbow appeared over the Port Desire narrows. I hopped on my paddle board and raced after it to get a picture. Of course by the time I got close, it had disappeared and the skies opened again. I got completely soaked paddling back, but once on the dock again it cleared, and this beauty appeared right across from us. So mission success? @bamfieldboundlodge #emeraldoceancharters #bamfield #portdesire #rainbow #westcoastbestcoast #pnw #pnwonderland #vancouverisland

No whales to be found in Trevor Channel tonight, but plenty of gorgeous sunshine. Soaking it up before the rain returns! #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #bamfield #bamfieldharbour #westcoastbestcoast #outforacruise #eveninglight #explorevancouverisland #barkleysound #bradysbeach

Going through photos of sunnier days.... throwing back to this gorgeous day of fishing with the family back in the spring. #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #bamfield #fishing #salmonfishing #chinnok #barkleysoundlodge #fishingbc #pnw #westcoastbestcoast

A Rebreather diver getting in the water this morning to dive the wreck of the Thiepval. She went down after hitting the rocks here in 1930. #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #bamfield #coldwaterdiving #diving #rebreather #scubadiving #scuba #closedcircuit #westcoastbestcoast #theipval #pnwdiving #barkleysound

Thanks for the photos Em Lim and Dan Zayonc! Looks like everyone has a blast on the Halloween dive. Underwater pumpkin carving, and UW costumes to keep this tradition going. #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #bamfield #scubadiving #pnwscubadiving #diving #barkleysound #coldwaterdiving #westcoastbestcoast #pnwonderland #halloween #underwaterpumpkincarving

Despite a terrible forecast for this whole week, this morning is calm and clear and the Reef Island just set off with a group of divers from Bottom Dwellers Freediving. #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #freediving #barkleysound #charterboat #reefisland #coldwaterdiving #bamfield #explorebc #explorevancouverisland #westcoastbestcoast #pnwdiving

What a season! The tuna is all processed and in the freezer, the boat is clean, and the crew have returned to their homes. The 2020 Bamfield Tuna Shootout was a blast, already planning for 2021! #bamfieldtunashootout #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #albacore #albacoretuna #tuna #thirdplace #tournamentfishing #offshorefishing #charterboat #reefisland #canoecove #barkleysound #fishbc

The boys are back from the last offshore run of the 2020 Bamfield Tuna Shootout! Emerald Ocean Charters crew ran out of space in the coolers with 103 albacore on-board. Now the processing begins..... #bamfieldtunashootout #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #bamfield #albacore #tuna #albacoretuna #offshorefishing #fishingbc #charterboat #reefisland #westcoasbestcoast

Emerald Ocean Charters first run of the Bamfield Tuna Shootout brought home 15 albacore.

The Emerald Ocean Charters crew headed out this morning for the first day of the 2020 Bamfield Tuna Shootout.

The humpbacks have been back for the last month or two, and we get to see these gentle giants almost every time we cross Trevor Channel lately. #emeraldoceancharters #bamfieldboundlodge #whales #humpbackwhale #pacificnorthwest #explorebc #westcoastbestcoast #pnw #vancouverisland #bamfield #trevorchannel
