Lunch Stop – Burdwood Group – Broughton Islands, BC

Burdwood Group – A cluster of low-lying islands –

One of the interesting features of the Burdwood Group Islands is the white-shell beaches. This grouping includes Denham Island, Walker Islet, and a few other unnamed islands and islets.

We stopped for lunch during our day-long exploration on our way to Shoal Harbour. The surroundings were amazing, almost dreamlike with pointy islands all around. It helped that it was an extremely calm day with glassy water below us reflecting the mounds of islands nearby. Above us, the sky was intensely blue at the height of the day, we felt saturated in warm color and dreaminess. It felt like time stood still. We were soon joined by a couple of sailboats, they coasted by as if they were gliding on half-set Jell-o.

The Burdwood Group Islands are a popular spot for kayakers. We can see why. I would want to return to this group should we ever make it back to the Broughton Islands. It was amazing!

We made lunch, ate, and relaxed in the cockpit for a couple of hours, soaking up the ambiance and unusual still air before we moved on. Hope the video (below) gives you an idea of our time there.
