We arrived in the legendary Princess Louisa Inlet after we
passed through Malibu Rapids. The approach
to the end of the inlet is similar to what we had seen passing through the rest
of Jervis Inlet – high, steep mountainous rock faces with towering cedars and
firs clinging to what little root space they can dig themselves into. We passed waterfall after high, tumbling
waterfall, but once we cornered that last point and finally beheld the wonder
that is Chatterbox Falls, only then did we know that we had most certainly arrived. Couple that with the steep and towering cliff
face directly above our anchorage and the crew was a bit gobsmacked as we entered
the marine park.
After checking out the Provincial Park dock and finding no
room, and after also finding no good anchor spots near the mouth of the falls,
we tucked ourselves into a nice little corner of the inlet with a little
waterfall of our own. Our anchor went
down in the dusky light of the evening.
We spent the whole next day floating and dingying around, hiking around
the base of the waterfalls, and just soaking up the amazingness of the the
British Columbia coastline. What a truly
special corner of the province.
