British Columbia’s Portland Island is a favorite location in the Southern Gulf Islands for both boaters and kayakers. Portland Island is a great destination for a day trip or multi-day boating and camping adventures with two protected moorages and 3 campgrounds.
First Nations people utilized Portland Island going back 3,000 years as is evidenced by the middens that can be located on the island. These middens are categorized as archaeological sites and therefore are protected legally. As such these middens should not be disturbed. Later the island ended up being inhabited by Kanaka (Hawaiian) immigrants and was utilized primarily for agricultural purposes. An ecentric owner in the 1920′s was Frank “One Arm” Sutton, a retired British army officer. Frank Sutton purchased the island using money he had won betting on horse races in China. The master plan was to raise & train thoroughbred race horses on the island. Almost all evidence of the old horse racing track and a golf course have now disappeared.
In 1958 the island was presented as a gift from the Province of British Columbia to Princess Margaret to commemorate her visit to the province. Princess Margaret returned the island to the province of British Columbia in 1967 to be used as a park and it became known as Princess Margaret Marine Park. The Canadian Government bought the island from the Province of British Columbia and it became known once again as Portland Island and became part of the Gulf Islands National Park Reserve of Canada.
Portland Island is located approximately 4.5 km from Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island making it a popular day getaway for kayakers and boaters. Although it is not a very large crossing, it may occasionally get quite rough during bad weather conditions.
3 camping locations are available on the island; Shell Beach Campsite is situated on a stunning shell beach directly across from Brackman Island (Brackman Island is an ecological reserve and visiting is not allowed). The lovely shell beach is partly sheltered by Brackman Island and doesn’t get struck directly by ferry wake. Arbutus Point Campsite is situated on a small peninsula on the northeast end of the island and delivers fantastic vistas of the surrounding islands. The beach for the camping area is situated on the north side of the peninsula. Princess Bay campground can be found above the bay and features a great view of the scenic bay, the favourite overnighting stop for pleasure boaters. Pit toilets can be found at each one of the camping locations on Portland Island.
Along with Princess Bay, boaters have an alternative of staying on the northern end of the island at Royal Cove.
BC’s 1st artificial reef, the submerged freighter G.B. Church, lies off the northeast coast of Portland Island. The scuttled ship now serves as a safe place for underwater organisms and is a place of interest for technical scuba diving.

Trailerable Boat Covers – Three Top Tips
Author: admin
All boat covers aren’t created equal. purely for storage is unlikely to be able to stand up to highway travel.~Many people could be forgiven that thinking that a storage boat cover is also suitable for trailering a boat, however, the truth is that a cover designed simply for storage is unlikely to be able to stand up to highway travel.} The three main features that set trailerable boat covers apart from storage covers are thickness of materials, tie down straps, and a snug fit.
If you’re in the market for a trailerable boat cover the very first thing to take into consideration is the thickness of the actual fabric. A number of manufacturers may advocate that their 150 denier polyester covers are generally sturdy enough to use while trailering your boat. This fabric thickness may be suitable for storage, however a trailerable boat cover needs a thicker polyester.
A 300 denier polyester cover is a much more durable thickness. It is sufficiently strong to provide proper protection against sunlight, rain, snow and dust nevertheless remains sufficiently breathable to avoid moisture problems for your boat. Three hundred denier will cost more however you will be thankful you chose it. For ultimate protection select heavy duty 600 denier material.
Tie down straps are different for each boat cover. Examine the tie down system regarding performance. Tie downs that will wrap over the top of the boat provide reliable coverage without having the risk of a ripped hook or eyelet. If you select a boat cover with eyelets, ensure they’re reinforced. Furthermore be sure that no metal parts can come in contact with the boat. The eyelet as well as straps can rub against the boat and scratch it should they be improperly located. Make certain that any buckles or metal eyelets are unable to rub against the hull.
Tie down straps should have little or no stretch in them. Bungee cord or stretchable rope will not hold the cover on firmly enough to be secure. Employ at least four full tie downs to totally secure your boat cover, and also make sure there aren’t any loose straps that may get caught in the trailer wheels or flap in the breeze.
When you are traveling on the highway your cover should stay in place. An adjustable elastic hem will help to hold the cover and avoid loose corners. Measure your boat accurately to get the closest possible fit.
When selecting a universal boat cover, your boat is measured from bow to stern although not over the windshield. Measure from side to side at the widest part of the boat to find the beam measurement. Choose the cover that most closely matches the dimensions of your boat. Using the elastic or adjustable hem, you can get a custom fit with a universal boat cover.
