Monday, June 3 Princess Louisa Inlet

We have had 2 days of rain (just more waterfalls to see) and now 2 days of glorious sun.  The temp is about 67 but it feel like 90 in the sun and 50 in the shade.  Go figure.  We haven't seen any bears yet but we know they are here.  This an awesome place for kayaking, and as some of you already know, there is no bad place for kayaking in the Inside Passage.

Last night Fred woke me up at 1am to see "something great". When we are at anchor Fred does not sleep through the night.  He gets up 2-3 times a night to patrol the perimeter and make sure the anchor is holding.  What a show we saw!  We were able to see a million stars here.  The moon was behind the mountain and there is no ambient light .  It was as if we were in the mountains.  But the best part was the phosphorescent fish.  They were all around the boat and actually sparkled like fireflies.  It was so surreal.    We stayed outside until the cold got to us and we had to get into our warm bed again.

Fred is working on projects.  He keeps himself very busy and we never lack for something to be done.  However, we make plenty of time for reading. 

We are well and Emerald Star continues to work beautifully.
