Awoke today to heavy sea mist and low cloud that creates an eerie atmosphere whilst at the same time being somewhat calming. Not certain what to do today - probably just rest and recharge the batteries.
But it's worthwhile making some further comments about the town we are staying in. If Jasper was 'laid back' then Ucluelet is positively 'horizontal'! However, it does have a school and a Co-Op and an Aquarium. The latter has an interesting policy - it is apparently 'not for profit' and replaces it's displays each year. So at the end of the season, they release all their exhibits back into the ocean and next season go out and see what they can find. If you're a fish then I guess that's a 'double-edged sword' - just when you think you're safe and can't get eaten by the bigger fish, you get hoisted out of your comfort zone and have to fend for yourself once more - a bit like being promoted at work I suppose!
Anyhow, some pics of the town to be going on with:

| Not sure about the 'Tattooed Beaver'? |

| Really shouldn't have leant against that! |
And some local history:

| They call it the 'Whiskey Dock' - just my kind of place! |
