We have become very good at spotting the humpbacks from a long way off. They send a spout high into the air when they come up for a breath, and it can be seen from several miles away. Before noon today we had spotted two groups feeding close to shore.

We get some help tying up to the dock from a couple guys we met in Prince Rupert. They are from California. Elfin Cove is a cute little town. There are no roads here, just boardwalks and bridges. About 50 people live here in the summer; they have a post office and general store. There are 8 lodges that cater to fishermen. Apparently Kurt Russell was just here last week and will be coming back next week with Goldie Hawn for some fishing.
