HOW WE CHANGED THE WAYS WE EXPERIENCED WALLACE ISLAND
THE JOURNEY TO WALLACE
The car, ferry, and launch remained the most used option but frequently transportation to and from the island was by private boat. Dave and Jan travelled aboard the their cruiser “Sea Rose”. Co-owners Wagars and Bievers came on their sailbot “Klatawakah”. Lorelie and Tim sailed on their sloop “Freyja”. Navigating through the San Juan Islands to and from Wallace became part of the adventure!
ON WALLACE ISLAND
As children became older, we brought more friends to Wallace. Within a day of settling in, our lives were centered on our activities on the island. We, our kids and guests all enjoyed freedom to hike, explore, swim, and relax in the evening.
EPILOGUE
Legal and financial realities confronted Wallace Island’s “magic” in our lives. The developers were unable to fulfill obligated contracts. Owners couldn’t agree on a joint ownership plan. The island became a marine park in British Columbia. We found solace in knowing we could still return by boat to remember that Wallace Island was a “once in a lifetime experience”. So we invite you to share two of those nostalgic trips.
