Description:
 
The plan is simply - catch the ferry from Tsawwassen at 10:10 am on Wednesday, bike 30 km to other side(we can stop for swim, views, etc somewhere) of the island - Dionisio Point Provincial Park, watch a wildlife, swim, camp there - permit needed 5 dollars/night - https://secure.camis.com/DiscoverCamping/Backcountry/Dionisio?Map (entry/exit point is somehow not possible to change but according the trip report attached below that´s not issue) Second day - all we have to do is catch a ferry at 5:40 pm from Sturdies Bay so program is free.

What BC parks says - http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/bcparks/explore/parkpgs/dionisio_pt/ 
 
What we need: bike, bike back, sleeping bags/pads, tent(i have one for 2 people, if necessary we could fit 3), pillow, money for ferry(around 35 dollars&return), etc. .
 
Weather https://www.yr.no/place/Canada/British_Columbia/Galiano_Island/long.html  should be stable sunny so don´t have to worry it.
 
Pre-meeting trip is not necessary for me but if you wanna meet we can arrange a day(looks like monday or tuesday)
 
P.S. pace is not important.
