2026 Autumn Trip (Part 2) - South Pender Island, Poet Cove, Gowlland Point, Brooks Point Park

Join us aboard our cruising vessel, MV Raiatea, as we explore the Pacific Northwest. Raiatea, a 2013 Ranger Tug R-25SC, is named after our favourite island in French Polynesia. We hope you enjoy our channel and accompany us on this marvellous journey. Chapter 23: Three years ago, we visited Poet Cove on South Pender Island. This year, during our Autumn Trip through the Canadian Gulf Islands, we are returning to this remarkable destination once more. In Part 2 of this series, we weighed anchor from Winter Cove on Saturna Island and set a course for Poet Cove. During our stay at Winter Cove, we explored several new locations, including Gowlland Point and Brooks Point Regional Park. On our return journey, we even made a brief detour to check out the Stuart Moresby Trailhead. // Contents // 00:00 Preamble 00:42 Introduction 01:30 Leaving Winter Cove 02:09 Poet Cove 04:04 Walk to Gowlland Point 05:01 Brooks Point Regional Park 07:01 Stuart Moresby Trailhead 07:28 Syrens Bistro 08:07 Anchor Rating // Music Credits // Music used (Intro) YouTube Music Library The Long Night - Quincas Moreira Music used Genesis - by Jonny Easton Link: https://youtu.be/ZoHmk14W7j8 Check out his channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/jonnyeaston Music used Ocean Morning (English version chill) by TideBlue via Pixabay Music used Sirens of the deep by lolivac via Pixabay #Vancouver #PenderIsland #SouthPenderIsland #PoetCove #GulfIslands #GowllandPoint #BrooksPoint #BrooksPointRegionalPark #StuartMoresbyTrailhead #StuartMoresby #BritishColumbia #MVRaiatea #RangerTug #RangerTug25 #BoatingBC #BoatingPacificNorthwest
