We're on a crazy camp spot - it's actually a helicopter landing pad on a tiny island at our northernmost point in Fitz Hugh Sound. There used to be a maned lighthouse here, yet now it's automated so we had the pad to ourselves. This marks the end of 4 days of amazing whale watching in what has to be the most densely populated Humpback waters in the world. We've been seeing between 10-20 whales a day! We've seen displays that you could never imagine without being here yourself. We've almost finished another section of this trip, we pick up food tomorrow, and our very near our midpoint in miles and days. I have mixed feelings about this place in our journey. We're far enough in that we miss some of the pleasures of everyday life: the hot showers, the Cuisinart (thanks Sven and Michelle), refrigeration, fresh produce, beds, the securities of civilization, the Internet , lazy days of no exercise... Yet, the second half of the trip beckons and should only get cooler as we go. My resolve to finish what we started is starting to build. It's been an amazing journey so far, but the full journey, that will be the treasure. (Mike)
