Rambling Fisherman has a new owner

The Dwayne Mustard Fishing Experience has purchased The Rambling Fisherman - a year round guided fishing operation.

The Rambling Fisherman has a long history of guiding great fishing on Vancouver Island.  Ian, the founder of the company, has headed to Alberta for a career change and he chose Dwayne to take over the company.  He'll be great!  He's a fantastic salmon guide and has fished the rivers of Vancouver Island for years.  And he's fun to spend time with.

Check out The Rambling Fisherman's blog/website and Facebook Page.  It's exciting to see where Dwayne takes this already great company!

Book a guided drift on Vancouver Island.  Fishing is a great outdoor activity.

Walk Where It's Beautiful

Today I set out on a walk I take quite frequently and, part way through, I realized I was walking with a huge smile on my face. Sunshine, fresh air, good tunes in my ears, and some of the most gorgeous waterfront views in the world. Campbell River Sea Walk.

I start the walk at Willow Point and head north. It's 2.3km to "Big Rock", making a 4.6km round trip.

Thank you, Michael Moore, for reminding me how great it is to walk!

Connecting With Nature is Good For You!

It was a blustery, rainy day today.  But my friend and I went ahead with our plans to visit White River Provincial Park west of Sayward, BC.  It's a very small park with a cool story.  It's home to old growth Douglas Fir, and it houses a great salmon stream!  What we didn't count on was snow, so we did have to detour a smidge.  And, technically, it wasn't a huge amount of exercise.  But we spent some quality time in the woods with the ancient trees and the wild elk herd.  

Edward O. Wilson, a Harvard University entomologist, coined the term "biophilia", referring to humans' "love of living things" - our innate affinity with nature.  I sure felt that today!  Love the outdoors!!!!

Get outside at least once this week.  You'll feel better because of it.

Hiking on a Beautiful March Day

The sun came up this morning on Discovery Passage with a morning temperature of -1.  But by 10am the sun had warmed up the air enough to make it a t-shirt and light hoodie hike day.

Ripple Rock in Campbell River is a great hike!  8km round trip.  3.5 to 4 hours - depending on how often you stop at the spectacular view points along the way.  Diverse, moderate hiking trail.  Some big uphills.  And the view at the end of it is amazing.

Hiking.  What a great way to get fit, get outdoors, and feel great.
