A World Apart

When Carolyn and Sylvia flew to Bella Bella they left  behind the glass skyline of Miracle Mile, Chicago's elegant restaurants, concerts in Millennium Park, live theater and jazz clubs.  They came to a world apart to  aboard The SeaDrifter to a safari on the sea.

We left Bella Bella for  Codville Lagoon where we nestled into the tall mountains of the mainland and fished for crab and prawns.

Hungry for Dungeness?

Our next stop was the Burke Inlet where we fished for the elusive halibut.  Both Carolyn and Sylvia proved to have the touch!

 Carolyn nails a 32 pound hali!

Time to move on.  We traveled inland hoping to see bears, whales and catch good views of the black granite cliffs of Roscoe Inlet.

Sylvia takes the helm.  Good job, Cappie!

 Whale sightings, granite cliffs but alas not a bear!

We only have a week.  The salmon fishing hasn't been great but let's try at Idol!

Nice job, Sylvia!

Two for Carolyn and two for Sylvia!

Does this place have any crab?  Let's put out a pot or two and see.

Doug in his fox jammies with two big boys!

Let's head for the islands near Queen Charlotte Sound - the landscape is different there.

Captain Carolyn

The trees are small and formed by prevailing winds.

Paella anyone?

We celebrated with another good meal and another  night of playing bridge!  Laughter and fun for all.  Tomorrow the lovely ladies from Chicago return to a world apart.
