The article in on the kayak shop on the pier (Bowen Island Sea Kayaking) in the June 16 issue of The Undercurrent mentioned how popular the kayaks are with tourists from around the world.  

Recently, Joan and I were on one of our many visits to a resort on Treasure Island, a small island in Fiji. So, there I was on the beautiful beach chatting to a young lady who was waiting to go para-sailing. I opened the conversation by asking where she was from and was told she was from England. I told her I was from Bowen Island. She told me she had been kayaking around Bowen a few days before. In fact, she even remembered paddling past our home on Tunstall Bay. She told me that was the high point of her world adventure.
