Thetis Island is a great starting point for exploring the sheltered waters along Scott, Dayman, and Hudson Islands, either from the Telegraph Harbour Marina, or from the BC Ferries terminal at Preedy Harbour.

The Albern is often seen tied up in Fanny Bay, yet for some reason I had never seen her working, until a few days ago.
