Awesome! Should have worded my question a little better is it worth targeting Hali’s there still?absolutely-Just no chinooks if outside the 1 mile line until the 15 th july-My understanding
Thieves in Coal Harbour? What the hell is the island coming to. Sorry to hear about your bad experience. Port Alice is a pretty small town where everyone knows each other. I'm sure trouble shows up there too but I think you could leave your vehicle wide open and it would be fine.Never launched at Port Alice, wanna give it a try one day.
Coal harbour works, if it’s below a 3’ tide go on the gravel and launch. The ramp has to big of a drop off at low tide, the gravel doesn’t.
Need to sink the truck a bit but no big deal, give it a rinse after.
There won’t be anyone there at that time of night but leave a note on the dash and pay when you come back, just make sure you pay.
Great people that run the facility, remember to lock your doors, my partner didn’t lock my truck last year and I had everything ripped off.
Just FYI my truck window was smashed last week in Port Alice.

been launching there for years, what a drag. were you on the water side of the main road? Pt Alice town hall should know about this.Just FYI my truck window was smashed last week in Port Alice.
What size boat are you usually launching?Coal Harbour Launching: Shallow sloped ramp designed for float planes. Drop off at end of ramp is minimal if you get there at real low water. I've backed off of it many times, no problem. At any water level, when launching, back up, slam on brakes and voila, boat shoots off. Walkway next to ramp is terrible and does not reach far enough seaward at low water. If you are alone - walkway is none existent for launching and returning at low water. At low water I pull my boat to the beach after launching and jump in through the bow. There are photos on the internet of the ramp area. Try Google Earth. Port Hardy: NEVER back off the ramp concrete - next stop is China.

Port Alice opened case for my with RCMP.
When I call them the caps was already aware of the incident.
Did you get any resolve on this? I called the Town of PA today and had a great chat with a girl. They are aware of one issue last year and one this year. I am assuming you are the one incident this year. She indicated that one possibility was the person weed eating sent a rock towards your vehicle. I let her know where I found this info so she may track you down through this site and reach out to you. PA is a really cool old school town with a neat VI history. We like their facilities and would use them again but don't nobody wants to return to a damaged vehicle.
We haven't decided which community we will launch in yet. We have never been to Coal Harbour and seeing the narrows would be cool.
If you haven't spoken with the town office you should. They seemed quite interested in keeping their residents, and visitors safe.No resolution yet. After paying my deductible new glass was installed. Heading there on Monday hopefully no more surprises.
