VANCOUVER TO RIVERS INLET BC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 30 лис 2024
- The Good Hope Cannery skeleton crew are heading up to Rivers Inlet, BC to spend their summer living and working together. We usually get flown in, but this year we met Ted and Dwayne Walkus at the Thunderbird marina in Vancouver to boat up with them.
The ride up takes about 12 hours so we made plans to spend a night at Sonora resort to break up the trip. We got a tour of some of the very extensive property. It's such a cool place! The staff made us feel at home, especially the dogs that followed everyone around.
We also made a quick stop at Duncanby lodge once we were in Rivers Inlet. There was still a construction crew working on their new dining room. Im looking forward to seeing it when it's finished! We said hello to the winter watchman and the chef and got a hot coffee before finishing the trip up to Good Hope Cannery.
If you're interested in knowing more about the cannery you can check out the link to a video I made last year. • WELCOME TO GOOD HOPE ...
Thanks for joining us on our little adventure on the Eaglecraft from Vancouver to Rivers Inlet BC.

Keep up with the fab content, Jenny....your channel is one of the best, keep putting out great videos and the mass's will eventually find you.
Well fimed and presented. We have had a 38 foot cruise since 2005 we take north every year. We pass by your resort most time. Your film of the trip shows what it is really like to those that have never been on such an adventure. We take 2 week to do the trip up on our way further north.
So many memories of beautiful BC brought back by your awesome videos,love them.Thanks for sharing Jenny and stay safe..you should have a million subscribers at least, every video i watch i can't wait to see the next.
That’s so great to hear! I just started posting videos last year and I’m happy with my channels growth! If it keeps getting bigger I will have a hard time keeping in contact with all the amazing people who comment, like yourself!
I found you on UA-cam by accident and loved your content , I subscribed and have been a fan ever since . I’m a Gramma and not able to travel right now to far from my home so watching your travels really helps . I saw a video of you and Brent travelling through the Slocan Valley , I got excited as I’m here in Creston BC . It’s fun to watch you guys fishing , at work or in the Baha it’s entertaining and somehow very satisfying. I’m not a fisher but love to eat seafood 🍤, I also enjoy seeing what you cook up in the kitchen. I’m a foodie and love to cook so I really enjoy that part . The wilderness around there is spectacular , I’m glad you folks pack a gun though as it could be dangerous with the animals. ……I loved it when your Mum came to fill in so someone could take days off . Take care Jenny and enjoy your season at work !
Wow! Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment. I’m so glad you found me! I am always on the move and I’m happy to have you join along on the adventures. Creation is a beautiful area!
Thank you again for letting me know you are enjoying my videos. Another one of my family members will be joining me at the lodge this year. I’m so excited.
Take care!!
Unreal to stumble across your channel!! I spent 3 memorable seasons there, my first being in the dish pit for Bob and Judie under Salmon King Lodge, my second season I progressed to the dock and endured the change of ownership 😅, my third season I became the fish cutter and began guiding under the knowledge of some of the most amazing fisherman I have ever met... Tyler, Ted, Dwayne, Sneer, Salty Dog to name a few. Forever greatful for Tony's generosity and compassion....Gage you beauty!! great to see you on here too!! Have been cracking up at some of the memories that keep popping up 😂😂 so good!
Thanks heaps for posting the videos.. You've done a great job.
Tight lines,
Kiwi (residing in Northland, New Zealand now days)
Too cool that you found this channel! It’s nice to hear from staff that used to work here and I always wondered how the transition went between owners.
Ted and Dwayne are gems and I met Salty Dog on a project I was working on in Merritt a couple years ago.
I’m so happy you’re enjoying my videos!! More to come soon. Thanks for watching and leaving this awesome comment!!
Hi Jenny I am glad i found your channel thanks for this!
The less people know about rivers the better. Fav spot on earth!
Awwww it is such a beautiful area! I feel so lucky to work here in the summer.
Great video. Keep them coming and thank you.
Thank you so much. I appreciate that and I’m working on more videos already.
That was beautiful and the music fit perfectly! Thank you for sharing that!
Im so happy to hear that you enjoyed this video and the music! THANK YOU for watching!
Great footage, thanks for sharing! Will look forward to seeing more if you do. Such good spirits around that place. Nothing but smiles! Hopefully it is a great season for all of you!
Thanks Jason! I appreciate your comment. I’ll keep
Making more
A few years ago made that same run. So cool and very cool to live again through your vid. Thanks! 🎣
That's awesome! I hope the weather was good for you. Thanks for watching!
A great video to sit back, relax and have a coffee. As I was watching and listening to the great music, I had a thought that it would be great to just hear the ocean and the waves, then just before the 17 min mark, you did just that. Thank you!! Yes, please make more.
Thank you, Don! More videos in the works
Absolutely LOVE this video. Well done!
Thank you, Daniel! We will see this year if I go up to work on the boat again or on a plane this year. Thanks for watching!!
@@jenny_adrift Thank you so much for responding! So you are working again this year? When do you normally go up? I can't believe you took a boat up, that's a long way by water but beautiful scenery if you hit the weather right. We used to make that trip from the mouth of the Fraser River to Rivers inlet in 3 days but obviously much slower. Best of luck to you, Cheers...
What a great trip! I love that old cannery, worked there when Bob and Judy ran it. Have a great season!
Thank you! That's so cool. Much different place at that time. I'll work on more cannery videos! stay tuned.
Beautifully shot !
Awesome thank you!
Wow, what a nice surprise to come across this video! Hi Ted - hi Dwayne! Around 15:20 or thereabouts you went right past our place in Sointula - good but quick shot of Pultenay Point. Made me homesick for (forgive me Rob) Bachen the day! 😎 Thank & cheers - have a great season.
That's so awesome, Vern! Thanks for sharing that story! I will pass along a hello to them both
Absolutely wonderful video. Thank you for this. Brought back so many memories, I spent 3 seasons on a commercial troller in some of those waters. Looking forward to more of these. 🙂
Thank you for your lovely comment! It is very much appreciated!! I will be working on more soon!
Great video Jen. Brought back memories of times we spent boating in Johnstone Straight, Blackfish sound area.
Thanks Norm! Im happy it brought back good memories for you.
Looking forward to more videos in the future!!
Thank you so much for your support
Spectacular! What a great way to see the coast along the way. Great footage, edit and narrative. ✌🏻🇨🇦
Thank you!!! It always means a lot coming from you.
A. Long time ago I worked Salmon King lodge after it was known as good hope cannery lodge and before it was known as that again. Good times and great memories
Cool! It’s still a great place to work!
Sweet! I used to work right by Thunderbird Marina. Such a nice area!
Yes! Such a beautiful spot!!
Been there several times on our boat. Visited Duncanby resort back in 2008, May before they opened for the season. Picked up fuel on our way to alaska. Beautiful area, Rivers Inlet.
It sure is! Duncanby is such a beautiful lodge!
Remember the trip From River's to Royal Vancouver yacht club back in 2006 i believe with Raven and Dickie..... Sweet memories
Do you remember what kind of boat you travelled on? Definitely a great trip!
@@jenny_adrift pne of the First two Ironwoods with twin 150's i think It had the 9.9 kicker in the middle of them believe it was the Good hope 1
Very cool!
Wow Nice boat ride! Must be so nice to go there and work during the summer! What a great job, I would love that :)
Nice! Well we are looking for a server if you know anyone haha
Beautiful as always Jennygirl ❤️
Thank you Meagan!!
Awesome video! I flew Cpt. up to Campbell River last year on the Turbo Beaver. Great man 🤙🏻
Nice! Thanks for your support.
great video! Would like to have seen a play list for the music and possible links to that music. I enjoyed the trip very much! Thank you!!
That’s a great idea! I will add it to the description soon and will add on future videos.
I'm loving your videos. I usually spend my summers camping, and fishing just out of port Mcneill, at Alderbay. I've often thought of taking my 24' boat from Port Hardy over to Rivers Inlet area for some fishing there and in the Hakai pass area too. Just a little nervous I guess about traveling there alone ,and getting Refueled with Diesel once I'm there ? keep up the great videos. I'm sub'd now.
Thank you for your support, Ron! It is quite the trip to do on your own. Good luck with your adventures!
I see you stopped in Port Hardy on the way. I worked at Island Copper there in 1973. Went in and out by pick up. A lot of logging roads. I'm very curious, where is Rivers Inlet? I'll be subscribing. Thanks for this video of beautiful coastline.
Thanks Wally! Rivers Inlet is just north of Vancouver Island and is a part of the mainland. You can google Dawsons landing and find it on a map.
@@jenny_adrift Thanks Jenny
Great video ❤
Thank you so much!!
Very nice video - anything with a coast or the sea is interesting. I work as a mariner on Canada's East Coast & Great Lakes. We have many cadets from BCIT doing their sea-time with various Great Lakes marine shipping companies - they are 'polite to a fault'!
A query, and perhaps one of your viewers might be able to offer advice: a lot of mates, especially older mates on the lakes are looking for 'a change' and and would perhaps consider working the BC coast, however, most vacancies for master or mate positions request 'BC coast experience'. My question is - how would one obtain such? As an AB/deckhand or as a junior mate? Understandably, the position of master, one must have 'BC coast experience'. On the Great Lakes and rivers, usually it is the master and/or 1st Mate that trains-up the junior mates (2nd & 3rd) in river pilotage. A lot of us have pilotage experience on the many rivers of the Great Lakes / St. Lawrence River system, so the 'rudiments' are there.
Any advice regarding such would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance for your kind assistance!
I hope you find the answers your looking for! I cannot help. Thanks for watching the video and good luck on the East coast!
You should have waited for 7 foot waves in the wintertime so not so many people want to come over
I just posted the new version of this video today. I hope you can check it out. Not quite 7 foot waves but it was bumpy! Haha. Thanks for watching!
Hi Jenny 😊👋🙌🍺🍺!!!, I am from a different province but WOW!!! this video is awesome, hope you do a series on the crew and fun backstories if they want to share, and how long was the trip looked like a few hours at least?, loved to watch the floating logs, the underwater footage and the doggos 🦮🦮😊, please tell me there are ATV by the resort 🥺 that would be epic to go for ride alongs 🙂, well greetings from ON and stay awesome out there everyone😎🍺🍺🥤🧋!!!!
I have started a video series called Lodge Life that you can check out. Only one episode so far but I will be giving you an idea of the staff life here. Also we do have a side by side and a couple quads but there isn’t far to go up here. There are no roads and we can’t access any logging roads from here. Just the generator and incinerator. But I’ll show you all of that soon!
@@jenny_adrift Sweet, TY, and hope you have a great shift and day ☺, and I love the way you make fish fingers or was that chicken fingers?, either way I'm craving both lol, stay awesome Jenny, GH Fam and everyone ☺🍺🍺🍺
❤❤
🥰🥰
Hey my cousin Chief Ted Walkus!
Awesome! Hi Rodney!
@@jenny_adrift Say hi to Teddy and Dwayne for me please!
we live in a beautiful place
yes we do!
The most beautiful areas .This could have been a great video. You do no justice to this trip. You missed the boat!
Haha I’ll try harder next time
Great video, but it would have been really nice to hear the sound of the waves and the engines instead of music.......
I might possibly be working on that version. It will be a longer video. Thanks for the comment!
This made me emotional. What a great video. Keep em coming, Jenny! I love to see where you are :)
Thank you so much, Vanessa!
👍🏻🇨🇦
Thanks, Steve!
Please take the rubber bands off the lobster before cooking. The taste goes in to the lobster
Thank you so much!!! I definitely will do that next time. I haven’t cooked much lobster in my life. I grew up in the prairies and have lived on the west coast for years where we don’t have lobster.
I appreciate the tip!
Bananas on a boat??????
Ooopsie, I put bananas' on our boat sometimes too LOL LOL
Haha right?! We weren’t fishing so I thought it would be ok 😂
