Up at 7:30 AM off to get some Java and a fantastic veggie omelette from a local little café in downtown Tofino. After breakfast we decided that we would enjoy a tour of Pacific rim by flying with Tofino Air. So we went and got a fantastic deal and flew for one hour with some of the locals going to work. The lady in the office who booked our flight happened to be somebody who I worked with at the Weigh West Marine resort 25 years ago. John and I had a great flight and we enjoyed the wonderful scenery of the Pacific rim. Awesome scenery and a great young pilot.
A friendly pilot
Next it was off to Long Beach to watch some of the local surfing dudes, hitting the big surf and I ran into someone who I had surfed with 25 years ago. Things around here are pretty laid back. I had a very, very good day I felt like I was a little kid again.

The biggest surf happens in the winter
So after walking the beaches and talking with the local boys we drove to you Ucluelet, which is about 25 km west of the island. We went and had a lovely dinner at this beautiful resort called the Black rock. John and I both had some BC Salmon and some beautiful Okanagan Valley wine. Excellent food with a spectacular view paying for a very enjoyable evening.
