We headed out from De Courcy for 10 days and enjoyed some lovely sailing and a few good walks. We met up with friends from Gold River in Howe Sound and enjoyed spending a couple of days with them including a great hike up to some lakes in the hills.

We saw this snake at another lake. It is apparently the only animal that is immune to the poison of a rough skinned newt, which contains enough neurotoxin in its body to kill 25,000 mice.
