Quadra Island is reached by a 10 minute vehicle ferry ride from Campbell River, British Columbia, Canada. Campbell River is 100 miles north of Nanaimo, an industrial city of 90,000 on Vancouver Island. The highly effective British Columbia Ferries Corporation operates many state of the art vessels from many terminals. The terminal we chose for the 2 hour ferry run to Nanaimo,was Tsawwssen in southernmost British Columbia...the 35 mile ride was aboard a new 450 vehicle ship which took us up the Strait of Georgia...seeing all manner of sea vehicles from other ferries to industrial and work vessels to many pleasure craft...Our stay was at the TsaKwaLuten lodge, a native band owned facility on the water at Cape Mudge
