Prince Rupert to Lowe Inlet, Grenville Channel 6 ¾ hours 67.9 miles

It was overcast today but the wind and seas were completely calm.  We left Prince Rupert and headed into Grenville Chanel.  We saw some dolphins who played around the boat for 5 minutes and then disappeared by the time I grabbed my camera and headed out on deck.  We had a very comfortable cruise down to Lowe Inlet.  We have never stopped in this inlet before.  What a pleasant surprise!  It has a large anchorage and a beautiful waterfall at the head of the inlet.  There was Salty Dawg (42’Nordic Tug) was planted in the best spot in front of the waterfall.  This waterfall was putting out large amounts of foam which was not very pretty.  We put the dinghy down and went for a closer inspection of the inlet and the falls.  Verney Falls doubles in height at low tide.  I would guess it goes from 10 feet to 15-20 feet in height.  We saw a beautiful black bear on the rocks by the falls.  He was a rich dark black in color and looked well fed.  We could see salmon jumping up and trying to climb the falls.  I’m sure they are what the bear is after.
