Dolphins in the Inlet


There are lots of dolphins in Sechelt Inlet - we saw a large pod travelling towards Porpoise Bay this morning, and it was incredible! Fins breaking the surface, blow holes puffing, like a big wheel of sea life turning itself down the fjord. In thirty years of recreating and living in the Inlet this is the first time we have seen a pod of dolphins. The pod is so large when it is all together that it can take 20 minutes to pass by, and several groups often split off to travel up Narrows or Salmon Inlet.

Prawning is excellent; with our visitors from Bigpacific.com today we enjoyed a lunch of dozens of freshly pulled prawns, sauteed in garlic and served with fresh veggies. Yum! We prawn every day and are lucky on most, so guests are assured of a delicious introduction to this West Coast specialty... or enjoy the catch of the day, whatever it is.

Trails are being swept and tents cleaned after the winter's storms in preparation for our groups coming up for an escape of wilderness solitude with all the comforts of home - cooking hub, barbecues, and everything to stay dry and clean and fresh from explorations.

We are accepting bookings NOW, so don't wait for summer. All platform tent cabins have woodburning stoves and air mattresses and are warm and cozy on spring nights; several have complete privacy and incredible views. Whether you're a group of 6 or 30 you'll find Bird Point exceeds your expectations - all our guests tell us so! We hope to see you soon.

We went up for an orientation to Bird Point Retreat for Bigpacific.com and it has been an exceptional day! Our hosts Tony & Helen are so easy to talk with and took us all over the property (well, we didn't do the mile hike around the point or climb the mountain :) and we had a delicious lunch and lots of laughs. We will be back with our group!

Spending the day at Bird Point Retreat was exactly what I needed so when my friend Laurie asked me to join her for this excursion I closed my laptop and hopped on board. What an amazing place! Owners Tony and Helen made me feel at home the minute I stepped into the boat. The first thing I noticed about Bird Point Retreat is that Tony and Helen have a wonderful respect for the environment and their surroundings. Every detail from the buildings to the trail system is designed to work with nature and blend into the natural landscape. Walking through the trails I was taken back to my childhood pleasures of spending time in the woods of Roberts Creek. I am a local girl and yet I am discovering a part of the Coast I didn't know existed. Thank you Tony and Helen for making my day so memorable. I look forward to retreating again to Bird Point.

I seldom leave a response, but after reading through a ton
of responses here "Dolphins in the Inlet". I do have a few questions for you if you tend not to mind.
Could it be only me or does it seem like some of these responses come across like they are written by brain
dead visitors? :-P And, if you are writing on other online sites, I'd like to follow everything fresh you have to post. Could you make a list of the complete urls of all your shared sites like your twitter feed, Facebook page or linkedin profile?

Hi, I believe your web site might be having internet browser
compatibility problems. When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but
when opening in Internet Explorer, it's got some overlapping issues. I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Other than that, fantastic site!
