We spent the day cruising up the long narrow Grenville Channel as far as Kumealon Inlet where we called it good for the day and anchored in the midst of half a dozen small islands at the base of this beautiful mountain top. The inlet is an easy day cruise from Prince Rupert and the trees lining the rocky shoreline are densely draped in lacey green/grey moss making this a beautiful place to stop for the night.
With sunset not till 9:50 PM, Chris decided that it would be a shame to waste several good hours of daylight when he could be fishing. He took Gator out to the mouth of the inlet to try and snag a big one while Max and I stayed on Sea Mist and half heartedly dangled a hook from her bow. After a few minutes Max started barking at something on shore and I realized that a black bear was feeding only yards away from the water’s edge. I reassured Max that the bear was no threat and grabbed a camera.
For an hour or more Max and I watched the bear grazing on patches of grass and wandering the shore till the sound of Gator returning scared him back into the trees.
