With Jim and Doris Cairns at April Point Marina, Campbell River, British Columbia. Jim
and Ed were roommates at AF flight school in 1958. The Cairns cruised for several days
with us through Desolation Sound.

 Chatterbox
Falls after a rain (7/11/98)
This is Chatterbox Falls, Princess Louisa Inlet, British Columbia, after
a day of rain. There are many persons that consider this inlet and these
falls to be the Holy Grail of boating. It surely is a magnificent place.

HK at Smugglers' Cove, B.C. (7/7/98)
Heather K with a bow anchor and a stern tied to the metal ring cemented into the rocks
by the B.C. Marine Parks Department. It is quite common to stern tie either to a ring
cemented into the rock wall or to a tree to keep from swinging while at anchor. We carried
a 300-ft. roll of 1/2-inch polypropylene line on a reel for this purpose.

HK at Squirrel Cove, B.C. (7/18/98)
Heather K at anchor with a stern tie to a tree in Squirrel Cove, Cortes Island, British
Columbia. This beautiful cove is located within an Indian Reservation. At the upper end of
this cove there is a narrow channel to another small lake. Water rushes through this
channel to fill the small lake at high tide, and then rushes back out at low tide. We, as
well as the Cairns, our children, and our grandchildren, had fun riding inner tubes down
the rapids from the lake as the tides changed.

Prideaux Haven, B.C. (7/17/98)
Heather K anchored in Prideaux Haven, Desolation Sound, British Columbia. Sunsets are
beautiful as you watch the sun go down behind the snow capped mountains in the background
while sitting on the flybridge and enjoying a cool one. The sunrise is just as spectacular
as the morning sun illuminates the high peaks.

HK cruising in Tobal Inlet, B.C. (8/20/98)
Toba Inlet, British Columbia, is a glacier fed bay. This accounts for the jade green
waters rather than the blue-green waters normally associated with the deep bays in British
Columbia.

Malibu Rapids, Princess Louisa Inlet, B.C. (7/9/98)
This is Malibu Rapids, the entrance to Princess Louisa Inlet, British Columbia, at high
slack tide. The channel curves around the building on the left, which is a summer camp for
Young Life Christian high school students. Princess Louisa Inlet extends for about 5 miles
beyond the rapids, and ends at Chatterbox Falls. The rapids can run up to 8 knots at
maximum flood and are quite dangerous because the channel is very narrow and has a tricky
bend in it. There is only one-way passage through it. You call on the VHF radio before
going through to make sure that no one is coming in the opposite direction. The mountains
rise several thousand feet straight up from the water. Princess Louisa Inlet and
Chatterbox Falls are considered by many to be the Holy Grail of boating. We have to agree
it is one of the prettiest places we have visited.

Moonlight over Ganges Harbor, B.C. (8/7/98)
Ganges Harbor, Saltspring Island, British Columbia. This beautiful bay is on an
island, which is home to a lot of artists and writers. I had seen an oil painting with
this exact scene a few weeks before I took this picture. At that time, I had not known of
this harbor, and thought the painter had been under a psychedelic trance while attempting
to portray the Ganges River in India.
There is no comparison between the two.
