We enjoyed a beautiful lay day in Princess Louisa Provincial Marine Park. We awoke as the sun lit up the fjord and enjoyed a leisurely morning cup of coffee and breakfast. Naturalist Emmelina and Captain Bill led an intrepid group of hikers on a morning hike (scramble!) upwards to an old trapper’s cabin and waterfall with an outlook that looked out over the entire inlet. Intrepid, indeed, as it is a very strenuous climb! There were dinghy explorations, as well, and the less adventurous among us soaked up the sunshine and this beautiful setting on our fly bridges.
Around five o’clock, we pulled the deck chairs out to the dock and began to gather for appetizers and a potluck supper. The crew of Deception provided the salmon, with the help of several of the other boats’ grills, the rest of the fleet contributed delicious side dishes, and a tasty feast was devoured by all. The hiker/climbers impressed us all with their tales of strength and endurance (and sore muscles), and a delightful evening of camaraderie was enjoyed. As darkness fell, we drifted back to our boats as the peace of this special place enveloped us.
