Kwatsi Bay

by Aaron

Kwatsi Bay is absolutely beautiful.  Definitely the prettiest spot we’ve been so far.  With waterfalls everywhere and dramatic cliffs all around it was just amazing.

Max (head of the table) is the proprietor of Kwatsi Bay Marina and a really good guy.  He organizes potlucks with the visiting boats and we were lucky enough to be at the first one of the season.  Good food and great people made for a nice evening.

We took a short hike to a falls but otherwise relaxed here for two days.

There’s lots of bears here but (as usual) we didn’t see any.  Of course everybody else did, along with a huge pod of dolphins that came in the bay while we were gone on a dinghy ride. 

We carry a little air horn and a bear bell whenever we hike in bear turf but haven’t needed to honk at one yet.  Hopefully that will be all we’ll ever need, but to prepare for the worst case I’ve studied a bear combat training video should the occasion for hand-to-paw combat arise.

  1. you and Chuck, fighting for a bear free world. Think a flare gun might turn one around, cause I don't like to get that bear smell on my hands?
