Jervis Inlet/Princess Louisa Inlet

45 miles up Jervis Inlet through beautiful scenary we reached Princess Louisa Inlet.  Getting there and through the Malibu Rapids was a breeze but our return thrip was challenging with 20 – 30 kt winds on the nose, took us 2 hours longer getting out.  The destination was well worth it.  At the end of Princess Louisa Inlet we found Chatterbox Falls , where we tied up to the dock and met some nice people and had a great kayak.  

We ended up spending longer in Jervis Inlet than anticipated given there were several days of 25 - 30 kt. winds.  We headed out to Powell River one morning and with the wind on our nose and the waves we were going 1.2 kts, so given we were on holidays with no deadlines (takes awhile to get onto this) we returned to our anchorage.  We tried our first attempt at crabbing, better luck next time!!

We made it to Powell River where we had a great visit with Dennis' previous neighbours Lotte and Adrian. They gave us a tour of this lovely town that they have fallen in love with, thanks Lotte and Adrien!  Who knew that the "old town" of Powell River is a World Heritage Site and that they have the longest running movie theatre in Canada and the west coast of North America and are home of the Pacific Regional International Music Academy, run by the conductor of the Moscow Symphony Orchestra???  Great meal of Indian food, a visit to the farmers market and meeting a number of nice boaters on the dock topped off a great visit!
