Steve (Dora-Jean) –Thanks for the comments. Two of the videos I posted were of me explaining the routes and different places of interest on a Northern Inland Passage Map. Those along with your own maps and the travelogue should give you a good edge if you decide to cruise this area. These are the direct links to the map videos.

In answer to your question on Dundas Bay and lack of shelter in case of a blow, I was referring only to the Dundas River outlet. It’s a fantastic spot with as much or more land, air and sea wildlife as we had seen anywhere on the cruise. We would have loved to anchor and then explore up this river in the mokai. It’s a place we plan on returning to and trying again in the future. There are several very good anchorages at the head of Dundas Bay, but the only wildlife we saw there was some black bears, so with itchy feet we left there without spending the night. When we have more time, it’s another place we plan on returning to and spending several days.
Anne—All I can say is WOW!!! Too. Those Hollywood types would sure be envious of a review like that. Really am pleased you really enjoyed the combination of video, photo and writing of the cruise. Love your enthusiasm and it sounds like you and Ron had some fun times out bear hunting and exploring also. I plan on retiring in 2 years and then Jo-Lee and I plan on spending a lot more future time doing our style of bear hunting, exploring, fishing etc in the described area. Would be great if we could meet up there sometime? For us it doesn’t get any better than the Elfin Cove and Pelican area of the Northern Inland Passage and I think I can guarantee you seeing all the grizzlies you want.
We bought the Hunkydory then the Puffin from Gordon Lamont and family in Jan 2003 there in Vancouver, BC. They had the boat moored in a Marina near or at Port Moody and we went for a trail run out Howe Sound. That was our first ride in a C-Dory boat.
Jim—With past videos I posted to the C-Dory site I used YouTube and Mydea as host, so they were available to Mac users too. YouTube is free and would work with the Mac and the Other, but Mydea, though expensive has much superior video quality, so went with Mydea only.. Wished it would work with the Mac too. This time with 30 separate videos to upload to host and then post it was just too much to do both. Pleased you let me know you downloaded firefox to view the videos.
Steve (Seabran) – Actually we did eat a lot of peanut butter and honey-jelly sandwiches and our own mix of granola, but your right it wasn’t the only fare. We do try to keep it simple and neither of us requires anything special in food. Start out from home with all the basics. Coffee, salt, sugar, hot cereal mix and canned food in the form of chowder, lentils, stew and many jars of our favorite applesauce. In the ice chest goes butter, half & half for cereal and coffee, sandwich type meats, cheese and pop. Buy in harbors along the way only fresh fruit and veggies, bread, half & half, cheese and sandwich meat like mainly ham. On this trip only ate out twice and that was once in Petersburg and Pelican other than when invited to eat with another boater in their boat. It works fine for us and the way we have been doing it for many years whether on the water or an extended road water trip.
Even with the extra fuel we do without very little. Many back ups and safety stuff and we run extremely heavy. Use same prop combination on ocean as we would run on Yellowstone Lake at almost 8000 ft running light. If I remember right max speed is only about 20 mph at 5300 rpm. For us to plan for such a cruise takes in all our available time starting in the fall to when we leave in the spring or early summer and that includes many hours on my job where I’m fortunate to have time available to use for planning. I know many feel we take to many chances and maybe we do due to the inherent risks of such a cruise, but a successful trip such as this can’t be made without major pre-planning. The amazing thing is space and weight and the distribution of the weight really wasn’t a problem. We did have to do shifting of items back and forth from the cabin to the sleeping area. After our 2003 trip it kinda became instinctive to shift items around, so we always were well balanced. We really don’t think about it, but it is a consideration that must be made. The boat never felt unsafe in its handling due to weight distribution even with the towing of the mokai in some very rough water. In several instances we found ourselves in sea conditions that we had never experienced before, but the boat always did what I wanted it to when needed.

Jay, I'm not very knowledgable when it comes to video or computers, so I can't put a value on the effort made to put them on this C-Brat site.
