G'day All, Thats an interesting part of the world, looks b****y cold though!, all the snow on the peaks around the area, when I googled the co-ordinates and looked at the bigger picture there are 2 water craft making there respective runs to the island now, maybe to "nick" the articles in question LOL . The tennis court stands out very well smack in the middle of the island?? maybe a community item, anyway thanks for sharing the info cheers Dennis

I'm going to call Doug later today to see if he has the time and interest in running out there. It's about an hour's run from Horseshoe Bay and a little longer from Eagle Harbour which are the two closest ramps to put a boat in. Certainly, ask your brother if he can get some pics of the jeeps. If he has a boat, then he's a lot closer to Paisley Island. Your brother may even be able to see the Jeeps from a high vantage point at the Western end of Bowen Island. In the mean time, I'll keep everyone informed of my brother's efforts. Derek.

Derek...
I'm sure your brother would be interested in "Running" out there to take pictures,as soon as someone ponies up the $6.13/gallon fuel charge...
Gone are the days when one jumps in the gas guzzler for a cruise around the town just for fun...
$1.35/litre X 4.54l/Imp.Gal = $6.13 Cnd./Imp.Gal

($3.88USD/US gal X 1.17 Imp gal/ US gal) / .9725 exchange rate = $4.67 Cnd./Imp.Gal here in Texas. I guess we're not so bad off here. Doug may want to wait until he's fishing in that area anyway before he takes a run out there. He doesn't have the "Green Disease" like most of us. Derek.
