Haida Gwaii......

Boarding a ferry to or from Haida Gwaii, formerly the Queen Charlotte's is a big deal.The route passes thru the open waters of Hecate Straight and on a good trip, smooth..on a bad one? rockin and rollin. So every vehicle is placed just so and chains are set to ensure that there no movement. Took two hours to load the ferry for the nine hour trip.





Just looking out across the water from Prince Rupert.



                                                                   Sharon decided we should get a room rather tha just sleep in the  b                                                                 chairs up on the passengers deck.

 





Just prior to docking in Skidegate...Maya was examing the car beside us....CATS!!!


 







Was still dark when we got off.




okay...so it's like...6:30 am....what to do, what to do.....
















Let's eat breakfast.




Tough..this is a view from the restaraunt.





 And Maya met Dozer....what a beautiful dog....







I think Dozer was talking dirty to our baby girl....





And we were able to get into our rented condo....in fact, the door had been left un-locked for us...we could have come here directly from the ferry. Didn't know that.....
