One Week Closer To Alaska

We are sitting at a marina in the "town" of Ocean Falls...sounds dreamy doesn't it?  The setting is breathtaking, fjord like scenery...really gorgeous.   But it's the town that time forgot...or rather, lost its way economically.  Most of the buildings have been abandoned and it used to be a lumber mill when it was thriving.  Now there is a dam that provides electricity for some of the surrounding towns, thus the falls.   We literally blew in here around noon just as a squall was arriving.  This has been our first consistently wet day since we left home.

We got a couple crab in our crab traps last night in the anchorage we were in so we will enjoy those tonight.  Email connections are not the best up here and I have noticed it takes a long time to upload photos so they will not be in great volume on the blog.

This photo was taken in our first anchorage after crossing Queen Charlotte Strait.   It was called "Fury Cove"...the idea being that fury could be going on all around the anchorage but you would be snug as a bug.

"Hey, Barb, should we take this one home for the garden?"
