Gwaii Haanas

Gwaii Haanas National Park, British Columbia, July 2023

Roads were only considered worth building to extract resources – lumber – copper.  Forest have reclaimed the roads, slashes of a brighter green.  

There is nothing flat enough on which to land a plane but the sea, and it’s rarely flat.

We board a sailboat, submit to the wind.  We cruise the lofty islands, letting the wind do the work, the fat-bellied and booming sails do the work.  The boat yaws, swings a bit and then dips, eliciting sharp curses from the knife-wielding chef in the galley.
