You will be traveling the West Coast of Vancouver Island and the weather can be unpredictable. You may wish to consider motion sickness pills, the patch or ginger tablets as a preventative measure. On the up side, May has been a good month for weather so cross your fingers for sun!
It is always cool on the water so bring warm clothing, wind breakers, etc.
We will be traveling the West Coast during the tail end of the Gray Whale migration, so bring your binoculars or camera and keep your eyes peeled! Sea otters, other marine mammals and sea birds should also be seen on your voyage.
