    I used to live in the west end of Vancouver near Stanley Park, and worked downtown at the Four Seasons Hotel. I am from the UK, and always have thought of Vancouver being one of the most beautiful cities in the world, where you can ski in the morning (Grouse Mountain) cruise in the afternoon to Indian Arm or Bowen Island, and go to a symphony orchestra concert in the evening, a rare combination of nature and culture all in one place.
    Thanks guys, to cruise up Indian Arm in your beautiful N43 is something close to paradise for me !

      I motored up Indian Arm once a long time ago, and it happened to be when I was when I was working for the Four Seasons Hotel!
      We catered to a 145 ft motor-yacht in which the guests were toured to the head of False Creek at Science World near sundown, and then up the Arm after dark. So I didn't see much while on my (then) cigarette break on the bow.
      I don't remember the name of the yacht unfortunately. But Cheers!

    My wife and I and our dog use to do this trip almost every second weekend with our boat. It was a great day out from our False Creek moorage and there is a lot of water falls that you can get your boat up to really close. Should have gone to Twin Islands marine park in the arm it has a small dock that you can take your tender to, and its free. The Arm is a great place to cruise at any time of year but the summer is awesome

    I'm so glad you have come to Vancouver. Fun facts; that bridge you narrowly went under comes out from Thornton Tunnel, 3.4km all under homes. And our family took overnight mountain bike trips from the Wig to the Chief along the Sea to Sky highway. Switchback trail leading to a high elevation plateau.

    • @mvfreedom
      @mvfreedom  Рік тому +4

      The music choice comes after I got thru all the footage and determine what the “feel of the video” will be. If parts feel more light hearted, I look for those…if they evoke more emotion or have beautiful scenery I go for more cinematic or inspirational songs. Epidemic Sound is great for music!

    Just a heads up that Quarry Rock is officially closed to tourists to let the trail recover - the signs sometimes get removed by anarchic mountain bikers so its not surprising you didn't see them, but perhaps you could just add a line to your posting advising people NOT to try the Quarry Rock trail at the moment. Thanks!
