We are heading into one of our favorite places, Fiordland. We are surrounded by snow capped mountains and there are many spectacular waterfalls. We were looking for a “spirit bear” along Princess Royal Channel. These are regular black bears that are not albinos but carry a recessive gene and are pure white. Unfortunately we did see any kind of bear. Khutze Inlet looks and feel like Yosemite Valley. The mountain peaks feel very close and it is so peaceful here. As one enters the first thing you see are the snow capped mountains all around. The inlet is 5 miles long. Then as one nears the head of the inlet the Khutze River has created a wonderful green carpet in the shallows. We anchored in our usual spot in front of a 1000’ waterfall. The water is about 90’ deep here which discourages many boaters from coming in here. The weather is rainy but we put the dinghy in the water and Fred goes and place two crab pots. We have usually had good luck here.
