The Wind in the Willows

"There is nothing ... absolutely nothing ...
half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats."

Chatterbox Falls
We have arrived. It is very cold here today and rainy and overcast. The last time we were here was in August and warm. What a joy to see the Princess in a different season. A float plane comes in as we come in. Only 2 ways to get here. Boat or plane. No roads to this place.

Arriving Princess Louisa.
I forgot how beautiful this place is. One cannot describe the sensation of the majestic Fjord experienced here. I am so glad to be back.




I love photographing eagles. They are a big challenge as they fly so fast or are a bit far away. Also a moving boat creates a bit of a challenge. Here is an eagle on a reef in the Strait of Georgia, one flying overhead and 2 enjoying the evening sunset.

Dark Cove



Dark Cove is named so because the mountains are so high that as the sun sets it gets dark very early here. It was raining and cool at this anchorage. We are a day's run from Princess Louisa now. Lori is trying her hand at fishing. No luck.
