The Long Journey Home



We felt as if Neptune himself had sent this magical escort.
As we sailed down Fitz Hugh Sound we encountered a pod of about 100 White Sided Dolphins jumping and diving in the brilliant blue water.



Soon others joined us racing in the bow wake.



They played with us for over an hour.



I almost fell in hanging over the bow as one rolled on it's side to look at the red headed creature looking back.



Then just as they appeared, they disappeared moving away at lightening speed.



We pulled into Duncanby Landing off of Rivers Inlet to prepare for our crossing of Queen Charlotte Sound to Vancouver Island.



A playful otter greeted us.



We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and settled in for the night.
