Day 7: Chatterbox Falls, Princess Louisa Inlet

[ 50 12.265 N 123 46.166 W ]

Since Reid Harbor, we've come back into Canada. The first two nights in Canada we anchored at Pirate's Cove, had great fun walking the trails trying to find the deer we spotted on the first night, and then spent the afternoon walking the low tide line looking for crabs, clams, and starfish.

We left Pirate's Cove with the boys still sleeping, crossed the Strait of Georgia, and anchored in Secret Cove for one night, where we resolved some engine issues (more to follow on this in a separate blog at some point).

The following day, we experienced calm light winds up the Jervis Inlet, through the Malibu Rapids, and anchored at the top of Princess Louisa Inlet, at Chatterbox Falls.

We're in the most spectacular inlet: cliffs towering above us on all sides, with dozens of waterfalls, everywhere, and then Chatterbox Falls in front of us, a thundering torrent of a waterfall. We've spent two days here, went ashore and walked up to the edge of the falls (got drenched!), and we took the dinghy back about two miles to MacDonald Island for oysters, clams, and mussels, which we had for tea!

Lots of photos to follow ...
