Details:
Matt Edwards and Angela Bueckert from Expedition Engineering will be our September presenters. They are very experienced and credentialed outdoor adventurers. They own and operate the Expedition Engineering Company headquartered in Sooke BC. Their company runs both kayak and skiing/sailing tours in the Northern latitudes and South Pacific.

Their presentation will focus on the Marquesas Islands which are located around 1,370 kilometers northeast of Tahiti and lie in a far less-visited. Known as Te Henua ‘Enata in the native language, this cluster of volcanic peaks is a place where ancient spirits roam and legends live-on strong. Across its 15 islands, craggy green mountains rise dramatically from the Pacific waters while waterfalls plunge down the sides of impossibly lush valleys.

The Marquesas have been home to Polynesian people for centuries, as evidenced by the many archeological sites and ruins found throughout the islands. There’s an aura of the supernatural here and a certain mystique, making the archipelago feel a world away from the luxury glamor of Tahiti.

For a very unusual and interesting journey please join us on September 24, 2025 at our new meeting location, the Unitarian Universalist Community of Victoria formerly known as First Unitarian Church of Victoria at 5575 West Saanich Road Victoria, BC.
