For August long weekend we boarded a boat in the Deep Cove harbour in North Vancouver and motored up Indian Arm fjord to a cabin reachable only by water. It’s not off-the-grid-living, exactly — there’s electricity and running water — but time slows and the kids spend their days catching small eels, turning rocks over to look for crabs and setting out the trap for large Dungeness. If they’re feeling more adventurous they can jump off the dock into the chilly Pacific, kayak, or get pulled behind the boat on a tube. It’s bliss.
Sea stars like this one are common in the waters around Vancouver.
High: Island, err, fjord time. No schedule and no screens. Just sun, water and the call of a bald eagle flying overhead.
Low: A summer cold. This is not the place to get sick!
Just boil for 15 minutes and you’ve got yourself a delish snack.

The sushi restaurant in Deep cove is the best we have ever had. Try the shitake and yam roll if you are still there. Great photo of you and Avery
