Port Renfrew: "The canoes have left Pacheedaht at about 8:30 this morning. They're making their way down to Sooke. The estimate of arrival is about eight hours. There were the typical stories about being sore and tired. They were happy to get into Pacheedaht. You could hear a sigh of relief when they came in."
"From what we found out yesterday, there were approximately eight canoes leaving Dididaht this morning, and they should be here around 2:30 p.m.,"said Tim Jones of the Pacheedaht Nation, who is coordinating the west coast Tribal Journeys arrival in Port Renfrew. "The weather's been excellent: foggy in the morning, and really, really hot."
The paddlers will be welcomed and given a late lunch. This will be followed by a get-acquainted gathering, and a crab and salmon feast later in the evening. They expect to be serving about 300 paddlers and support crew, as well as another 150 Pacheedaht Band members and guests.
