Hrs: 743 Log: 2717 nm
Lv: Waddington Bay
Course: Retreat Passage > Queen Charlotte Strait > Alert Bay > Broughton Strait > Queen Charlotte Strait > Port Hardy

Nothing, not even a single hermit crab in the trap this morning! We are heading across Queen Charlotte Straight to Alert Bay. We are on killer whale watch. Surprisingly we saw a log floating in Blackfish Sound with a seal and an eagle on it. The seas are almost like glass this morning, it is soooo beautiful here.
Arv: Alert Bay, Cormorant Island
Time: 1200
We are just stopping for a look around this pretty village. The lady at the Tourist Information Centre said that the killer whales have not arrived in the area yet. She didn’t know where they come from, only that they are not here. So, I guess we won’t see any whales today.

Kathy & Jerry, The description and pictures make your trip sound so exciting. It makes me want to be there. The pictures are beautiful. When I click on one it fills the screen and looks so 'real'. Keep up the good work. I arrived at Peter & Roma's last Wed and will leave this coming Thurs am. We've been sleeping in the new place since Sun. There's still lots to do to getting totally moved and organized. They have a really nice little house and it's so cute and comfy.

What e-mail address are you using?
Love, Mom

Hi Kathy and Jerry . This is the third time I try to post a message to you. Somehow I bungle it each time up. I enjoy reading all your experiences, somehow you are taking me on your trip.I love the pictures you post. I hope Prince Charles is feeling better now. Poor puttycat.
You might get to see the killer whales when you get closer to Alsaka. Joe and I did on our Alaska cruises.
Our son and youngest grand daughter are coming on June 29th till July 13, so that is something to look forward to. Pat went back home, she did paint the livingroom kitchen and hall way. next time she will paint the bedrooms. That won't be as bad. Wish you both a wonderful time and al the best. I am looking forward to your next postings.

Hey guys,
I finally figured out how to leave a comment! I am using part of your earlier decription of HRH getting seasick for a "Boating with Pets" article that I am writing for City Living magazine. It is due today or I would ask you for more info. You can give me some anyway and I might be able to squeeze it in before it goes to print! Beautiful photos.
Love Moi
