Imagine you are sailing with George Vancouver about 1793 as he searches for the Northwest Passage. Their expedition explored all the inlets and coves along this part of the Pacific Northwest. This is what you find along the way.

Because we are traveling on a smaller cruise ship (relatively speaking), our journey led us down one of the smaller waterways, Grenville Channel. Great views of the shorelines on both sides. We did see a number of humpback whale spouts, but not too many of the whales actually breached the surface. The scenery is truly spectacular and I fear I will run out of adjectives to adequately describe how beautiful.

And of course, we have to include a picture of the ship’s bell and another fabulous sunset.

Next up…Ketchikan.
