Captain / Admiral’s report:
We woke to bright sunshine this morning. (that would be the bright and cheery smiling faces of Tom and Susie) The sun in the sky was pretty impressive too!
We took our time getting ready to leave Von Donop this morning. The reason for our lackadaisical meandering was because we had to time the tidal currents for a comfortable pass through the Yuculta and Dent Rapids.
This morning we witnessed Turkey Vultures competing with Bald Eagles for a salmon carcass on the beach. (see picture below)
We had a wonderful cruise to our destination today... BEAUTIFUL SCENERY, WATER, SKY AND COMPANY.
We arrived in Blind Channel to a stunning vista of mountains, sea and sky.
This is our 10th day out ... the awesome experience of this breath-taking scenery seems new and fresh every day.
We are very lucky people to live in this great Province and have the opportunity to experience it like this.
The Admiral and I often have commented that we wish each of you could experience this with us!!!

Maresia passing infront of Whiterock Passage.
One of the many hazards we encounter on our cruises...
Birds sitting on the water is a good clue that there may be something a “bent prop” can do without...

Calm Channel (an obvious fitting name for this stretch of water)
