    Such an underrated channel, The camera work is superb, the music sublime, top notch narration and faultless editing.
    A lot of work goes into producing this content, it deserves far more views. (Guess it is a catering to a niche audience )

      Don’t freeze, what would Freedom do?. And the puppies. Carol and I are heading your way from Houston to visit our brother. You have so inspired both of us. We are preparing to take Trawles school and purchase a 31 Tug, probably Ranger but I have a close eye on a Nordic. Do you guys have a preference. I am thinking semi displacement hull. Shawn is soo lucky to have you. You are quieter happy with Shawn and it shows. What is your end game? How long will you cruise the North west . I hope always Richard and carol

    I spent some time in the late sixties, as a volunteer for young life, at Club Malibu. Working for a month in the summer and a week at Easter. I even took groups of high school seniors hiking through the mountains completely circling the inlet one summer. Your visit brought back some very fond memories.
    Thank you for sharing this with me.

    Wonderful videography! I/We have been up to Princess Louisa & Chatterbox falls in the summer and it is gorgeous. I couldn't get over the calm seas and lack of rain you experienced in winter and to be that alone on glass-like water in that beautiful weather was really special. I had to laugh, however, over the fear of cougars and bears. You really didn't have to worry. Just carry a big stick and a loud whistle for reassurance. If cougars had been around they are more scared of you than you them. Personally, I consider seeing a bear a highlight, and I would absolutely LOVE to see a cougar in the wild! Thanks for the great video!

    What a great place. Very different in the winter. In the summer when we visited, the camp was full of kids and activity. The float at the falls was almost full of boats, and Chatterbox Falls itself was spilling water at a much greater rate. You were very fortunate to have such a magnificent place all to yourselves.

    If you plan on more remote cruising, whistles, bear bangers and bearspary are a good idea. Also by the water, don't expect bears to hibernate as they often will not if there is enough food to stay awake. We went up to a remote inlet and came around the corner to check out a old log dump and there was a young Grizzly that had gone out about 200m on the boomsticks. He was as surprised to see us as we were of him.

  • @captainnw6238
    @captainnw6238 Рік тому +2

    We visited there twice over the years with our children and relatives aboard our yacht "Tonya Lynn". It truly is our favorite cruising destination and shouldn't be missed as it is magical! It's well worth your time to visit as access is limited to boats and seaplanes. However, being a fresh water inlet, it is subject to freezing over in winter, and summers can be crowded... ❤

    I have to say very pretty, the Canuucks got some pretty real estate there. As a avid north Idaho outdoorsman, you kids have nothing to worry about as far as a bear, they are sleepy time till March. Sean is going to scare your cougars off. They might go for a short woman or a small child. If you guys want to come to Sand Point sometime, I'll take you Snipe hunting :)

    There are vets/jackets for dogs that have what look like decoration, but the are predators spikes. There are dangers on the ground and from the air - eagles. I don't think they make those jackets large enough for Shawn, but maybe should each have a can of bear spray - works on cougars too. For cougars - wear your baseball cap backwards with sunglasses facing backwards. 😎 confuse the cougars! Lol

    Went there in 83. Climbed up the path and found a canopy a ways up about 20 feet above the forest floor, walked above, on the canopy over to the creek and then climbed down the side of the waterfall.. There we found a sign saying do not climb.. Did some scuba diving up near to the Hamilton mansion, found an cave about 50 feet down, stunning area.

    I live in cougar country in the Colorado Rockies. Our neighbor called this morning to tell us one was wandering around our house, so not to let the dogs out. I've only seen them during daylight hours, obviously it's too dark at night. If they know people are around, they don't hang. They are one of the shyest creatures you might one day see.

    Our most favorite place to go on the west coast from Seattle to Sitka. Nothing in the world like it………Not sure if someone commented or not but the sat dish at the head of the inlet is for the ranger that stays at the Ranger’s Station during the summer months. Also, there are some trails that no one knows about 1/2 way down the inlet on the north side. Very well maintained and a great workout the higher you go. They are mountain bike trails with 5 heli-pads as you go up the trails. Also, towards the head of the inlet there are natural water slides (better enjoyed during the summer). Thanks for sharing
