Ucluelet, Whales, and 1909

We dropped Brad off for his final surf lesson and then decided to drive to Ucluelet to check it out. Our first stop was Big Beach to see the volcanic rocks at low tide. We did a quick hike there before moving on Terrace Beach, which was probably the calmest water we’ve seen here!

Before getting back to Cox Bay to pick up Brad, we stopped at Incinerator Rock again so that Evan could “swim.” The tide was quite far out and the surf looked strong. Evan ventured in up to his waist, but was deterred by the very cold water.

We picked up Brad around 11:30 and the boys had showers before we walked over to Shelter for lunch. Evan dined on excellent fish and chips while I had mussels and Brad had a salmon BLT. Brad was quite wiped out after three days of surf camp, so he went back and had a nap while Evan and I went downtown to check out a few shops.Read more
