By Debbie: Wow, what a week we\u2019ve had.\u00a0 After leaving Salt Spring Island, a small farmer paradise we headed north to Naniamo.\u00a0 It\u2019s grown a bit in 40 years but still really beautiful with mountains forming the backdrop and a busy harbor at its entrance. \u00a0Then we headed across the Straits of Georgia to the Jervis inlet and dropped anchor at Harmony Island Marine Park\u00a0\u00a0 Quiet, tranquil and our first kayaking.\u00a0 Paddling around these little islands met some seals as well as the owner of one of the private islands in this group. Nicely he plans to donate his island to the BC government to be part of the marine park.\u00a0 The next day we headed to Princess Louisa Marine Park.\u00a0 All of British Columbia is beautiful but Princess Louisa Inlet is magnificent.\u00a0 It is like Yosemite on the water.\u00a0 Steep granite mountains with multiple waterfalls.\u00a0 Our plans had been to moor at the dock but lucky for us it was full so we found ourselves a place at the base of a waterfall.\u00a0 Two nights falling asleep to the sound of water falling is like a bit of heaven.\u00a0 Blazing sunny weather made for perfect kayaking with the 5 resident seals (also known as little buddies) yesterday before leaving the inlet Paul decided to take us on an epic hike (no trail, in a rainforest) to a cave we could see above the timberline.\u00a0 Becky and I decided it was a bonding experience as we were sliding down logs on our butts.\u00a0 It added to the adventure.\u00a0 Now we\u2019re in Pender Harbor waiting for our floatplane to take us back to reality, while Paul and Becky continue to head north.<\/p>\n
