With so much packed into our five days
on the water, the list of highlights is lengthy: Orcas swam by; we climbed up a native midden, the result of hundreds of years of use by local peoples, we
enjoyed wine
on the porch every
night before dinner, and once, deep into the dark of a
hot summer night, we paddled a short way form the lodge to watch phosphorescent marine creatures dance wherever we disturbed the water.
