When we took Calypso around in 2011 there was no cell coverage North of Hot Springs Cove (near Tofino) on the West coast and North of Port Hardy on the East coast. We did not go closer than a few miles to Winter Harbor so there might be some coverage there, and maybe some of the small fishing resorts will have wi-fi. Calypso's co-owner and some of the crew that were new to sailing in remote areas or offshore went into cell phone/internet withdrawal. I really enjoyed the isolation from most modern day distractions (save GPS). When sailing into Nootka Sound without another boat in sight I could almost hear an echo of Capt. Cook as he moored the HMS Resolution in Ship Cove (now known as Resolution Cove). If you have the time, anchor in Bligh Cove (a ways back into the sound). The entrance is a little tight, but if you are the only boat in there it will seem as if it is 1779 again.
