After a slurry of sunshine, we awoke to our first rainy morning in five days. The cool gray mist was a welcome change and gave us all an opportunity to use the rain gear we packed. Navigating through the narrow channel of a salmon stream, we saw several juvenile and adult bald eagles. Immature eagles are mottled brown in color, until they develop their distinctive white head and tail at the age of five. The rain stopped just in time for our afternoon hikes. Time on land allowed guests of all abilities to explore the mossy wonderland and greenery of the Great Bear Rainforest.

Once on board, the evening became festive. We celebrated a guest’s birthday during dinner, and then gathered in the lounge for a fun and competitive game of trivia. Guests enjoyed showing off their newfound knowledge, and together we had a great time laughing and connecting.
