Another gorgeous morning! Blue skies and very little wind made the cruise up from Khutze Bay to Lowe Inlet a very pleasant day.

Today is another longish cruise (~54nm) through beautiful inside channels. Sunshine improves the view.

We spotted a big black bear on shore as we transited Graham Reach. At first it looked like the bear was going to hightail it into the woods before we could get much in the way of photos. Instead, it stopped as soon as it reached the sedge grass and lay down to eat.
