From Bamfield to Pacheana Bay - July 5/6, 2011

We finally made it to shore to quickly gather our gear to catch a bus to have a late salmon dinner at the hall.  It was a long day of waiting.  So thankful to Wes who liven our wait on the water with song and games.  Nonetheless, the evening on shore ended up as an eat-and-go situation.  People were anxious to make it to camp and go to bed without realizing our disrespect for protocol.  The next day it was made known to the fleet, aside from canceling the next day's paddle due to weather, that our behaviour was without exception unacceptable.  We needed to make things right.  To apologize for our behaviour, the PT family invited the locals and elders over for dinner that evening.  Looking for forgiveness, the PT family offered food to our guest that was served by our youth to express our gratitude.  Our feast was bbq hamburgers.  The food was delicious when shared with welcomed company.
