Beaver floatplane on long finals for Thetis Is. My wife, Lois, and I are in Canada visiting family and friends. To get to Thetis Island, we flew on an aging Beaver floatplane from the Fraser River (by Vancouver Airport) direct to Pioneer Pacific Camp.
Dragged into the air by its big slow-revving radial, we got to see sea life, logs, mudflats, tidelines and lots of different boats as we trundled at low altitude across the maze of inland waterways.
After unloading us and our bags at the camp's floating dock, the pilot taxiied out to deliver his next two passengers to another island.
