Great Bear Rain Forest Proposed Itinerary

Some of you have asked what our proposed itinerary will be so that you can follow along.  Here it is with some caveats, we may not be where and when, but hopefully we will see it all!  As I have said before, once we are in BC cruising on the inland passage, internet postings will be slim as cell coverage is not all that good.  Keep checking back to see when we have posted to the blog!
