We returned to Port McNeill and that night the wind howled. In the morning there were white caps and it was blowing 20 knots. We decided we would take a road trip.
We visited the Quatse River Hatchery to see their progress from our last visit.
These Salmon fry are ready to be released in the Quatse River. Each group of fry will be released in the river from which the female egg donor came from. In their 4 year cycle of life when they return from the ocean to spawn they will populate different rivers.
Here are some Pink Salmon that have returned to the Quatse River to spawn.
At the mouth of the Quatse thousands of Pink Salmon are retuning. As time goes on the various species of salmon will return to the Quatse. 
Fisherman line the banks many of which catch and release the fish.
On the way back from Port Alice where we had dinner we stopped along the road to enjoy a lovely lake.
Lou enjoys the afternoon sun.
On the way back to the boat we stop to look at the "Worlds Largest Burl".
