Bedwell Harbor 5/16 - 5/17

Canada!

What a welcome we got. As we neared the entrance to Bedwell Harbor, our first Canadian Port of call, all of the boats came to a near standstill. And then we saw our welcoming committee.

On all sides of us Orca Whales were surfacing. Mostly just to breath but some were slapping the water with fins or tails. Every direction we looked there was bound to be a whale breaching. Overhead a group of young eagles, darkly colored, head not yet fully white, circled and gyred in the afternoon sun.

Now it feels like the trip has begun! We celebrated with champagne compliments of Scott Myers.

Thanks Scott!

加拿大!
我們居然得到意料之外熱烈的歡迎!在我們接近加拿大入境港Bedwell的同時,所有附近的船舶都停了下來,然後我們看到了歡迎我們的隊伍。

在船的四周殺人鯨一隻隻的浮現。大部分他們只是浮出水面換氣,但是有幾隻拍打著水面嬉戲。往任何角度望去都有殺人鯨浮現。在豔陽普照的下午,船上方天空盤旋著一群白頭鷹的幼鷹,頭部尚未換上成年的白羽。

我們真正感覺旅程正式展開,所以我們開了Scott致贈的香檳慶祝。

謝謝你,Scott!
