Gabriola Island
Gabriola is often a favourite stop for those coming across from Vancouver.
Anchorage- Degnen Bay - Good all weather anchorage but space is now very limited due to the number of moored boats.
- Silva Bay - Anchor in the middle of the bay, good all weather anchorage.

- There is a seasonal store.
- Beer and wine are available through the pub.
- Crabbing is very good even though you don't see many trap buoys. I had good luck right off the dock.
- Hiking is great.
- A visit to the petroglyphs. Ask the marinas for the bus schedule or hitchhiking is very safe.
- Watch the restoration of wooden boats just above the Silva Bay Marina.
