Baie Fine

This is the closest thing to a fiord you can cruise in.  It is breathtaking!!   We feel like explorers from the 1800's.

A storm passed through but we were fine.

 We caught lots of little fish  (3-4 inches) and threw them all back.

                                    Baie Fine  reminds us of Emerald Bay in Lake Tahoe.

Topaz Lake - We hiked up to here. It really is topaz color!!

We met a Canadian family  here that was portaging (carrying) thier canoe from lake to lake  on a week trip.  Their longest portage was one mile.  They had  4 kids in one canoe - ages 6 mo., 4, 7, and 9.  Dad carried the canoe and tent, Mom carried the baby and all the food ( no baby backpack) and the kids carried thier personal stuff.  It was incredible. There ae tons of lakes up here, but they are are up and down - there is no flat ground.  

Finally after 3 years on the loop I  learned how to operate the motor on the dingy and drive it myself - lots of practice here!

Anchored here two nights in the bay - one of the most beautiful places we have ever been!

The owner of the Evinrude (boat engines) Company used to bring his 115 foot yacht into Baie Fine for the summer and anchor.  We have no idea how you could get a boat that size around some of these bends.  He would test all his Evinrude engines here in the North Channel as he felt this was the toughest boating anywhere.
