This is culinary tourism at it's best! 

Imagine...a weekend of exploring the gulf islands by kayak while every meal is expertly prepared by a gourmet chef using local organic ingredients.  Yum! 

This was Day 1 of our weekend adventure.  We launched from Cedar near Nanaimo and kayaked to Pirate's Cove - we got up close and personal with seals and inter-tidal marine life.  Passing between sandstone walls and following the shore brought us to camp where we ate the first delicious meal. 

To work up an appetite, we hiked around the island and heard mystical tales of The Cult of Brother 12 and hidden treasure. 

Dinner was in the dark - but the taste was clear - another fantastic meal!

Check out the video highlights and don't miss day 2 & 3, too!
