Paddler
in aug 2003 we did a two week paddle starting and ending at bella bella heading west on seaforth channel rounding athlone island down through the McMullin group to goose island over to cultas bay and back up hunter channel to bella bella.
so this year we'd like to get dropped off at namu then head south to the koeye river for some fishing then cross to over to the hakai rec area for more salmon fishing in choked passage. from there hop our way through the serpent group,breadner group, up spider channel to cultas for more fishing and back to bella bella.
here's the questions i have, is the ferry still dropping paddlers off at drop zones? and will they do it for a group of 4?
are the bears a big threat at koeye river if we are able to find the camping thats marked on the coastal rec map. (we understand bear safety procedures)
cultas bay was the only spot we met paddlers on the 2003 trip, how much traffic can we expect on this route?
and of course, any cool spots along the way you might know of!!
