Comox to Tofino - Day 5: Cordero Island

Walkem Islands to Cordero Island: 6.1 nautical miles

I only needed to paddle a couple of hours this morning. I came up Mayne Passage and through Blind Channel at slack but then was confronted by the Green Point Rapids running against my direction of travel. The tide book said they would not change direction until late in the afternoon, so I quit and enjoyed an afternoon off.

This island is small with minimal evidence of past camping, you could miss it if not looking for it. When I was setting up my tent I found a camping knife (of the utensil variety) and I knew people have been here.

This is a beautiful spot and the nature appears unspoiled. Blind Channel Resort is close by but not visible. I went for a swim and it was very chilly but it felt great to lay out on the hot rocks afterwards.
