Firstly, the weather - an exeptional early summer day in B.C. saw us leave in flat calm conditions which prevailed all day. Temperature was a balmy 65 F. Early sightings of a group of bald eagles was followed by several small schools of Dall's Porpoises, followed shortly after by a Humpback Whale and than a Minke Whale. Due to the unexpected calm conditions, Capt. Bill decided on a circumnavigation of Hope Island and we were rewarded with sightings of a Grey Whale, wonderfull Sea Otters, and a large group of Stellar Sea Lions, languishing on Hope Island's rocky foreshore. Capt. Bill tried hard to find Orca Whales but to no avail. However, this was, in my opinion, fully compensated by the sightings previosly mentioned, especially the Sea Otters. All in all, a stunning day cruising off Vancouver Island.

A Ground breaking new medical insurance product has just been launched by SA-TOURMED. Radically different from all existing products, the SA-TOURMED policy is aimed at inbound travelers to the entire Southern African region. What makes this product unique is the fact that it is the ONLY medical insurance for inbound travelers that guarantees admittance to all first class medical facilities, without cash upfront payment being required. SA-TOURMED ruffled feathers amongst some SATSA members recently when their e-mail campaign highlighted the fact that many overseas travelers to the Southern African region are being refused treatment unless they pay hefty cash deposits upfront " regardless of their overseas based medical insurance arrangements. Some SATSA members felt that by highlighting this fact SA-TOURMED was showcasing the region in a bad light. In a response to an enquiry by Gail McCann of SATSA Mr. Les Arlow, Managing Director of SA-TOURMED said "We apologise to the SATSA members who complained, but the fact remains that this is accepted policy amongst many first class medical institutions. Often faced with a protracted and expensive tussle with overseas based medical insurance companies, that they are forced to demand payment from patients upfront, leaving the patient to claim from their insurers when they get home." Mr. Arlow continued "This is not always convenient and sometimes impossible, especially where the injury is as a result of an accident or crime? The SA-TOURMED policy is underwritten by AIG and issued by travel agents and tour operators who may register as a commission earning, official TOURMED licensee. Registration is free and policies are issued online using the SA-TOURMED website, www.sa-tourmed.com.
