Planning

• Option #1: Rent a motorboat at Sewell's Marina (~$150 for three hours), Horseshoe Bay, boat to Artaban government dock, walk up hill 500 m. Cheer!
• Option #2: Bus to Horseshoe Bay, Ferry to Langdale. Ferry to New Brighton at west end of Gambier, hike 6.5 hours to Camp Artaban, swim home.
• Option #3: Rent a float plane. Moor near government dock. Swim to shore. Hike 500 m. Cheer!
• Option #4: Hire water taxi. Otherwise as option #1.
• Option #5: Catch scheduled water taxi (isn't that a water bus?) from Horseshoe Bay at 10:00 a.m. Arrives approximately 11 a.m. at Camp Artaban. Hike, play, etcetera. Get 5:30 departure from Camp Artaban back to Horseshoe Bay. Fare is $25 per person each way. Reservations required.

Can also combine options, e.g. hike in, take water bus out. We like option #5 best, because no one needs to commit in advance.

What's really sad, is that this constitutes an accessible geohash in our graticule.

Option #5 Details

• 8:12 a.m. Catch 22 MacDonald bus
• 8:52 a.m. WESTBOUND W GEORGIA ST AT BURRARD ST P2 "250 HORSESHOE BAY"
• 9:38 a.m. arrive Horseshoe Bay
• 10:00 a.m. depart Horseshoe Bay
• 11:00 a.m. arrive Camp Artaban
• Find geohash, possibly go hiking, tour camp (we know caretaker), have picnic
• 5:30 p.m. depart for Horseshoe Bay
• 6:10 p.m. back in Horseshoe Bay

Argh, translink "upgraded" their website and now I can't download bus schedules. I have a paper 239 which will get me to Park Royal where I can connect with the 250, I just don't know what time the 250 leaves there. -- Rhonda 03:42, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
