haha yes you guys are very much familiar with having to finding places to shower/bathe! You wouldn't have enjoyed this one so much, it was exceptionally cold! ❄

This is prolly your best episode so far. Your content and production quality has come a long way. Can't wait to see what you two are making 20 episodes from now! Canada seems to have some pretty next level bush walking aswell.

@AllisonandJamesSailing

Жыл бұрын

Nate!! Awe, thanks so much friend! That means a lot! Yes you definitely should get up there! Anchoring in front of chatterbox falls is pretty sweet and that hike to the top of Sun Peak was def worth the grueling nine hours up and down! We'd love to get back there for some winter ski touring adventures! Hope to see you out there again soon!

Fantastic video! Princess Louisa is the most beautiful place I have ever seen. My brother and I cruised up into the inlet 15 years ago. You captured the magic of the place wonderfully. My only mild criticism is that you had only a couple of passing shots of James Bruce Falls, the one that starts over 2700 feet up and bounces down the mountainside and ends up pouring into the Inlet at Chatterbox Falls. Bruce Falls is the highest measured waterfall in North America, and the ninth tallest in the world. When we were there we took the kayaks along the shoreline and discovered that there were hundreds, probably thousands, of little waterfalls coming down the rocks and between the trees, some of them just little trickles, some of them larger, 30, 40, 50, 100, 200 feet high. In the afternoon when the sun has heated the rocks, the water coming down the smaller ones is as warm as bathwater. Erle Stanley Gardner, who was an avid gunkholer, said he thought it was the most beautiful place in the world, and he wrote, "Princess Louisa isn't an inlet, it's a cathedral." He was absolutely right. I'll never forget that boat trip.

Really glad you have such amazing memories experiencing this place for yourself! It's difficult to capture the full beauty and epic-ness of this place! We'd love to come back for a sail-to-ski someday! Funny while we were there we wrote a song and one of the lyrics was "Princess Louisa, nature's cathedral" shared sentiment for sure

​@@AllisonandJamesSailing Yes, the video frame doesn't convey the scale of the place. If you zoom back to try to capture the whole height of the mountains you just end up making them look smaller, while in person they loom above you and take your breath away. The drone shots capture it much better, but even so, seeing it in person is so much more astounding. Drones weren't available when we were there, in 2006 or so, and the government dock was about ⅓ the size it looks in your video. There weren't any mooring buoys at that time, we had to anchor and stern tie to a ring pounded into the rock face with a piton. We, like you, re-read The Curve of Time and located some of the places Cappy Blanchett mentioned in the book. Alas, now that I'm 74 and don't own a boat myself it's vanishingly unlikely I'll ever get back there, but I still have 2+ hours of low-res (Super-8) video of that trip (now digitized), and I re-watch it now and then to return there virtually. We anchored in the Harmony Islands the afternoon before going up Jervis Inlet to get to Malibu Rapids. There happened to be a luminescent algae bloom when we were there, and I remember staying up late and watching the glimmers of the wavelets on the surface of the water and the deeper flickers of light as the fish disturbed the water below. Then - it must have been a sizeable salmon going after a smaller fish - a huge trail of light zoomed below me, 15 feet long, like a comet, that slowly faded. Magical. Only to be surpassed by the majesty of Princess Louisa the next day....

Just wow. What a country. The views are unbelievable. Well done on the video, enjoyed all of it. When you read the signs was funny 😂
