Re: 2021 Nitinaht road reports

Perhaps South Shore around Cowichan would be better, have not been that way for a while......

Nitinaht Wifi

Hello,
Thought i would see if anyone knows how the internet and wifi access is this year ? Is it a pay per use as previous years or a donation system again ? Does it work well ? even the router at the water ?
Thanks in advance.

"screw the right of way"WTF - really ??

it should be drummed into Newbies heads what the rules on the water are....of course all are meant to avoid collisions but if i am on starboard and someone is trying to pinch upwind of me, while on port tack, they are in the wrong and should give way.

I will often sail upwind past the river mouth.... There is the bay past the Caycuse River that used to have access, drove down there once many years ago, i suspect the road is done now. Only good if the wind is really filled in though as there can be a bit of a hole there i think.
