We decided that we would go on the outside of Burnaby Island instead of going through the treacherous Dolomite (also called Burnaby) Narrows. They must be navigated diligently at high slack tide by lining up markers placed on the shore. It was a beautiful day with calm wind and seas so we opted to take the "easy way".
We rafted in Slim Inlet. Dayle and I were commenting that we had not seen any bears when out of the corner of my eye I saw a large black object on the shore. We grabbed the binoculars and it was a "BIG BLACK BEAR". We hopped in Wings and slowly moved toward him as quietly as possible. He looked up! He stared at us! He ran for cover by a mound of rocks! He stared at us and we began to back off! He watched us until we returned to the boats and he disappeared into the forest.
