Took a few days off & headed over to Bamfield BC (http://www.bamfieldchamber.com/) on Vancouver Island's west coast for the annual Tuna Shootout (http://www.bctough.com/tuna/).
This is just a sample-the complete set of pics can be found @ http://s37.photobucket.com/user/A_Fisher/library/Bamtown%20Tuna%202013?sort=2&page=1
Left my car in Port Alberni and took the Frances Barkley (http://www.ladyrosemarine.com/) out to Bamfield (aka Bamtown).
