Bowen Island, Howe Sound


When we sailed into Howe Sound on a sunny afternoon, we were suddenly gliding along on an incredibly beautiful, translucent ribbon of jade, as if we were skating on a bracelet.   Susi, from Meadowlark 1, told us that this water is usually more of a steely blue due to the glacier runoff.  We were thrilled to have witnessed the anomaly.

This stocky ferry dwarfed the boats moored in Union Steamship Company Marina.  We walked the docks intrigued by the motley mix of vessels and houseboats.  The village is an eccentric mix of up-town trendy meets organic cozy cottage.  Great place to re-enter civilization from the islands.
