BOWEN ISLAND IMAGES

Going By Bowen Island From The Deck Of A Charter Boat

Bowen Island is located just nineteen kilometers (12 miles) and a twenty minute Ferry ride northwest of Vancouver, British Columbia. The Island itself is about 52 square kilometers (20 square miles) in total size with about 37 kilometers (23 miles) of coastline. It is said that the Deer population exceeds the 2700 or so permanent human population. We have only lived on Bowen since September 1997 but have come to love our retirement island and her people, places and animals. One of our newest residents is a cougar who arrived from another island or the mainland some 3 miles away. How it got here is unknown but speculation is that he swam or hitched a ride on a log.

Our Photos Were Shot by us as well by our company that came to visit during the summer and fall of 1998 in and around our home as well on Mount Gardner.

Bowen Island Sunset looking West towards Vancouver Island .
If you look real close you can see Keats Island on the right. Ragged Island in the center and Pasley Island on the left. This is the view from our bedroom Deck. Aren't those sunsets so magnificent? We find that the September and early October are the best months.

Later Sunset. Can you still see the Islands?

Sunset on Crayola Beach.
Our Beach is only a six minute walk away down hill yet! Going down to the Beach is not the problem. Walking back up is the hard part. Some call it climbing but it really is not that bad. Besides the walk is well worth it as you can tell.

Looking West from "Van's Bluff" on Mt Gardner. Pasley Island in the middle, Popham Island and Wortcombe Island on the left. Hermit is in the rear with Mickey and Ragged Island on the right.

October 98 Sunset

Just another October Sunset on Bowen Island. We tend to get blase after awhile.
