We are going to fly from Vancouver Airport to the Powell River airfield. The Klahoose van picks up from the specific flight we have booked to take us to the dock. They have chosen an earlier flight than I might prefer but the thinking is to allow for any delay in the flight and then give us time to eat lunch in Lund before getting on the boat. We are looking forward to seeing grizzlies hunt for salmon in a quiet, serene setting with minimal walking and steps to the viewing platform. This should be a delight.

I think that is a very smart idea. One mechanical problem or any kind of a delay on the ferry could blow your whole plan. If your flight is really early, stay out at the Fairmont YVR the night before. Have a nice dinner, early night. It would be a short cab or Uber ride to the South terminal. You could probably find a closer hotel to the South terminal but I love the Fairmont and you can take the Skytrain directly there from downtown.
