Princess Louisa Inlet

“It will touch your soul”, a woman said to me as we cast off the lines at John Henry’s Fuel Dock in Hospital Bay.  As one cruises deeper into the inlet, first up Prince of Wales Reach, then turning up Princess Royal Reach and finally the last turn into Queen’s Reach, the solitude increases. On both sides of the channel, in front of us and behind us is nothing but the most spectacular scenery;  heavily wooded, lush, deep green fjords that rise to the sky and towering cliffs.  There is complete silence. 

We are aware that we are but a speck upon this earth.
