Nanaimo harbour and the coming and going of float planes

My kayak meandering had taken me from the Brechin Road launch to the downtown harbour in Nanaimo. A constant, postcard, feature of the Nanaimo harbour is the coming and going of float planes. This picture just had to be snapped.

Nanaimo Harbour Ferry making its way back to town from Newcastle Island

It was a cloudy day, but it was an August day. Thus, it was a day for kayaking. After launching at my usual spot at the foot of Brechin Road, I slowly paddled my way along the waterfront in the general direction of downtown Nanaimo. Near the harbour, I spotted the Nanaimo Harbour Ferry making its way back to town from Newcastle Island. Bright colours. Cute boat. Clearly a postcard!

The Pickle Boat docks at Nanaimo's Brechin Boat Launch

Spotted while out for a walk in March; one of Nanaimo's Pickle boats tied up at the dock near the Brechin boat launching site.
