After leaving FibreWorks, John and I made our way to Egmont, on the Eastern side of the Sechelt peninsula as we continued to explore the Sunshine Coast last weekend.
From there we met with Bryce Christie of Sunshine Coast Tours out on the dock by the Backeddy Pub. We piled into the B-Line and plotted a course to the Skookumchuck Narrows.
After a lazy Saturday morning sipping coffee we made in our room we got in the car and headed North on Highway 101 toward our afternoon appointment in Egmont, continuing our Sunshine Coast adventure. We were given the names of some galleries, cafes, and pubs to check out along the way should we have enough time to stop in – luckily we did.
Just a few quick turns from the resort we spotted the yurts that make up Yvonne Stowell’s FibreWorks Studio & Gallery and turned down the gravel driveway.
This weekend we took a quick escape from the rush of the city and hopped aboard a 40-minute ferry to enjoy the Sunshine Coast. After our walk around Gibsons Landing, we headed up the highway, stopping for lunch.
Sunshine Coast Tourism gave us a list of places to check out but I wanted to specifically stop in Roberts Creek since I spent so much time there as a child in summer camp.
The Paralmypics are in full swing and with two wins under their belt, our Sledge Hockey team is picking up the pace. The action on the ice is fast, hard-hitting, and the skills required to excel in this sport are unmatched.
During my Vancouver 2010 Olympics coverage I ran a contest for men’s Ice Hockey tickets, which ended up being the most popular in Miss604.com history. With over 1,400 entries the prize sponsor, BC Hydro, felt it would be a good idea to run another campaign for my readers.
Contest
BC Hydro has given me two pairs (meaning I’ll have two sets of winners) to the men’s gold medal Sledge Hockey game taking place March 20th at 12:00pm.
There are three ways you can enter to win these tickets:

Update March 18th, 2010 I have drawn the winners of the tickets who will each receive two pairs. The first is @trevorboudreau (Twitter entry) and the second is Kathryn (March 17th comment) – congratulations!
Fine print: Contest closes at 5:00pm Thursday March 18th at which time I’ll draw the two winners, who will each get a pair of tickets. Winners will have 24 hours to confirm their prize and will then need to pick them up from the location I provide. If a winner cannot use the tickets, there will be a re-draw.
I’ve profiled Gibsons, BC as a day trip destination before but having been able to take a walking tour yesterday with John, I figured it was time for an updated article about this seaside gem.
Hopping on a BC Ferry, the 40-minute crossing to Langdale from Horseshoe Bay is a breeze.
