September/October GBR (#68-71)

I managed to get out for a few paddles while I was up in the Great Bear Rainforest on Cascadia.

Once in Kitlope anchorage, Once in McMicking Inlet on Campania and twice in Chief Matthews Bay. Given the season and the rains I was happy to get out even this much.

October 6th - Campania Island (#58)

On my second trip we managed to get out for a lovely morning paddle in McMicking Inlet on Campania Island. Conditions were beautiful and we were joined by eagles and seals. In the zoomed in picture, note the "bog forest" behind the rim of conifers at the waters edge. Lots of cool plants there like Labrador tea, clubmoss, juniper and sundew!
