A day afloat

The mailboat that delivers and collects from all the remote landings around Queen Charlotte Sound also accepts passengers.

So we hitched a ride.

These dogs were barking and jumping with undisguised excitement from the moment the boat appeared over the horizon. It seems the crew brings them treats.

We went in to Ships Cove, a favourite stopping place for James Cook, and from this very stream (extra) he filled the Endeavour’s barrels with fresh water.
