When we left, I handled leaving all on my own. Normally, Brian is at the helm, and I’m at the bow of the boat dealing with the anchor. He had meetings this morning when we left, so I gave it a whirl to try it by myself. It went well. I hope to practice that again sometime.

Wow! The scenery today was really nice.

We’re getting into some really cool views!! Lots of waterfalls.

Waterfall cascading down a lush forested mountainside into the channel on an overcast day

Tall waterfall streaming through dense evergreen forest along Mathison Channel

Dramatic exposed granite cliff face rising from the water in Mathison Channel with clouds overhead

Small waterfall hidden among the dense green forest on the mountainside

Misty mountain valley with a distant waterfall framed by forested peaks and choppy water

Cloud-covered mountains flanking the channel with a waterfall visible between the peaks
