Sunset Beach to Third Beach to Granville Island...

Sunset Beach to Third Beach to Granville Island... (CLICK this link): 2005-07-03

On 05/07/03 (9:30AM) Barbie and I launched at Sunset Beach and headed for Third Beach. Once we made Third Beach, we retraced our trip along the Stanley Park Seawall and eventually made it into False Creek.[Sunset Beach ahead in the picture.] 

Just off Third Beach, with Siwash Rock in the distance (we can almost see home). 

Let's check out False Creek -- Burrard Street Bridge straight ahead. 

Just past Granville Island we turned back. 

On my Fort Langley to Abbotsford bike trip, I ventured off the TCT: there were plenty of surprises, and this was one of them. 

What a placid setting at Poplar Bar! 

I must check out the kayaking possibilities here... 

Rounding Roche Point with the Iron Workers' Memorial Bridge in the far distance (left). The boat ramp is just to the right. 

That quintessential WEsT COAST mossy look. 

Leaving the north beach of Buntzen Lake, toward the water outlet from Coquitlam Lake to the east (and much higher in elevation). 

Taking a rest on the north beach (picnic area) of Buntzen Lake. 

Placid waters of Buntzen Lake along the western shore. 

Typical of the rockier western shoreline of Buntzen Lake. 

Along the western shore of Buntzen Lake (heading north). 

In lieu of a paddler in the front cockpit --> bottled water


48 X 0.5 liter bottled water.

Without a paddler in the foreward cockpit, the Amaruk tracked very well. I was pleased with how responsive t was to the rudder.

Agriculture versus transportation... 

Not too much longer before we get corn-on-the-cob. 

Looking west in the direction of Fort Langley. 

OK, it's only a train... but my point is: I heard train whistles all day long as both sides of the Fraser River have rail lines, and both are busy.

Typical Fort Langley-Abbotsford farm scenery. 

Just as there are rail lines here on the south shore of the Fraser, so there are over on the north shore (Maple Ridge - Haney) as well.

Picking up the Trans Canada Trail on the east shore of the Pitt River.
