Departure from Kitimat / Départ de Kitimat
Ok! Long deliberation and tough call this morning. The weather is fine today and we are so looking forward to be paddling. But, on Tuesday and Wednesday, there will be lots of rain. So we won't be able to paddle. If we leave today, we would have to stay 3 nights at the same place. By leaving on Thursday early morning, we will make good progress and be able to paddle everyday after (very nice forecast coming). So we finally made our mind. Even if it feels like torture today to

The week started quiet despite the intense and persistent wind. The waves, at the end of the first bay, were such (due to the wind) that even the Georgia Master (ferry boat for workers) had to turn back. That boat is seaworthy and can take major sea. So it was out of the question for us to try our luck in such conditions, although our haste to paddle told us otherwise. There was an “arctic outflow” in effect for the area throughout the week. Even if the thermometer showed -7C
Semaine du 5 février 2017
Début de semaine plutôt tranquille malgré le vent toujours aussi intense et présent. Les vagues, au bout de la première baie, étaient telles (en raison du vent) que même le Georgia Master (bateau de transport pour les travailleurs) à dû rebrousser chemin. Un bateau pourtant très marin et qui peut en prendre. Il n’était donc pas question pour nous de tenter notre chance dans de telles conditions, bien que notre hâte à pagayer nous disait autrement. Il y a eu un “avertissement

Week of January 29, 2017
The week went by quickly with two presentations at Haisla Community School in Kitamaat Village. We had fun exchanging with both groups and we received beautiful gifts in appreciation (mugs and school logo t-shirts). Cameron was there for the occasion and the credit for the photos taken during our presentations goes to him. Tuesday and Wednesday, we walked around. The wind was still strong and did not want to let go. Although the sun was present throughout the week, the Arctic
Semaine du 29 janvier 2017
La semaine s’est passée rapidement en débutant avec deux présentations dans l’école primaire de Kitamaat Village. Nous avons eu du plaisir à échanger avec les deux groupes et avons reçu de beaux cadeaux en témoignage d’appréciation (tasses et t-shirts à l'effigie de l’école). Cameron était là pour l’occasion et c’est à lui que revient le crédit pour les photos prises durant nos présentations. Mardi et mercredi, nous avons marché aux alentours. Le vent était toujours aussi for
Gale warning and beautiful scenery / Vent violent et beau paysage
Beautiful sunny days for the last two days, but gale warning. Same forecast today and for the upcoming days. We went walking around and witness a beautiful sunset. Belles journées ensoleillées ces derniers jours, mais avertissement de vent violent. Mêmes prévisions pour aujourd'hui et les jour à venir. Nous en avons profité pour aller marcher au alentour et avons vu un superbe coucher de soleil.
