Gunkholing in BC Offers Unlimited Explorative Opportunities

Gunkholing (exploring different anchorages away from the crowds) is a favourite activity for boaters in BC, because there is an almost unlimited number of them to explore! Find your own private cove to snuggle your boat into and enjoy a refreshing swim, sunbathe on a sandy beach, poke around ashore, beachcomb, collect shellfish and at the end of the day, relax with a glass of wine while enjoying a famous West Coast crimson sunset. The next day, pull up the anchor and go in search of your next adventure.

“This is Onondaga,” I say. “Headed westbound and requesting passage.”
