I took a bunch of these shoreline reflection photos at Klewnuggit Bay and at Farrant Island Lagoon, both anchorages off of Grenville Channel in BC. I call ’em “Reflection Totems.” They might be a little bit much all together (they’re quite detailed) but probably only one at time will fit on…

We left Prince Rupert a little on the late side (after 10am). We gathered our crab traps (six females, and one keeper male), had breakfast and then got underway. We were originally aiming for Lowe Inlet in Grenville Channel, but decided we should try a new place, and the east…

Airship Goes to Alaska 2016 The weather finally cleared up a bit earlier this evening so we went out for a walk around "town." (Some history about Ocean Falls here.) The "bar" is apparently to the left: Our buddies, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. I spotted one of the policemen returning…
