Such an underrated channel, The camera work is superb, the music sublime, top notch narration and faultless editing. A lot of work goes into producing this content, it deserves far more views. (Guess it is a catering to a niche audience ) Thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Don’t freeze, what would Freedom do?. And the puppies. Carol and I are heading your way from Houston to visit our brother. You have so inspired both of us. We are preparing to take Trawles school and purchase a 31 Tug, probably Ranger but I have a close eye on a Nordic. Do you guys have a preference. I am thinking semi displacement hull. Shawn is soo lucky to have you. You are quieter happy with Shawn and it shows. What is your end game? How long will you cruise the North west . I hope always Richard and carol
In my opinion it just doesn't get any better than that. The perfect boat, the perfect destination and a wife that is open to adventure..........perfect!
Elizabeth you and Shawn are so together …gads Shawn is so confident he’s got the captain thing down and he’s really a great spouse/partner /doggy daddy. And you are a brilliant editor, video gal/moderator love the music too. Mahalo from Big Island
This is great! This is one of my favorite areas as is Desolation Sound area. You are the only person to tell the history of Malibu Rapids buildings that I have ever seen on TH-cam. Thanks for sharing.
Wonderful videography! I/We have been up to Princess Louisa & Chatterbox falls in the summer and it is gorgeous. I couldn't get over the calm seas and lack of rain you experienced in winter and to be that alone on glass-like water in that beautiful weather was really special. I had to laugh, however, over the fear of cougars and bears. You really didn't have to worry. Just carry a big stick and a loud whistle for reassurance. If cougars had been around they are more scared of you than you them. Personally, I consider seeing a bear a highlight, and I would absolutely LOVE to see a cougar in the wild! Thanks for the great video!
I spent some time in the late sixties, as a volunteer for young life, at Club Malibu. Working for a month in the summer and a week at Easter. I even took groups of high school seniors hiking through the mountains completely circling the inlet one summer. Your visit brought back some very fond memories. Thank you for sharing this with me.
We visited there twice over the years with our children and relatives aboard our yacht "Tonya Lynn". It truly is our favorite cruising destination and shouldn't be missed as it is magical! It's well worth your time to visit as access is limited to boats and seaplanes. However, being a fresh water inlet, it is subject to freezing over in winter, and summers can be crowded... ❤
Thank you for sharing. The inlet is as beautiful as I remember. I was a camper at the Malibu Young Life camp in 1970 for a week. An amazing experience remembered. You were so lucky to have the place to yourself this winter.
This episode is just spectacular and probably the best you have taken.. the quality of the video is fabulous not to mention the fantastic scenery... your videos are just getting better.. from Sydney Australia..
What a great place. Very different in the winter. In the summer when we visited, the camp was full of kids and activity. The float at the falls was almost full of boats, and Chatterbox Falls itself was spilling water at a much greater rate. You were very fortunate to have such a magnificent place all to yourselves.
If you plan on more remote cruising, whistles, bear bangers and bearspary are a good idea. Also by the water, don't expect bears to hibernate as they often will not if there is enough food to stay awake. We went up to a remote inlet and came around the corner to check out a old log dump and there was a young Grizzly that had gone out about 200m on the boomsticks. He was as surprised to see us as we were of him.
I'm a B.C. Boy and and live on Vancouver Island and I have to say we are truly blessed with abundance of beauty here! Born and raised in this amazing province of Canada!
We visited PLI some years ago in a 24’ cruiser. Incredible place for sure. Took a mooring at MacDonald Island for three nights. Wonderful place. Thanks for the chance to see it again. I’ll never get back there again at my age! We were there in summer, so much more crowded.
From our summer house near the mouth of Jervis, as young teenagers, we used to go up there all the time in small 10-12’ boats! At that time there were still some leftover abandon cabins and orchards, and we found old letters in probably Scandinavian from about the 1930's or 40’s it seemed, plus some handmade cross country skis. One trip, some of our cousins and friends were adjusting the outboard’s carburettor at the head of Jervis only have a spring pop out and go deep down into the inlet. They made it to a logging camp where they radioed down to us to come and rescue them. In the meantime, they were treated to a ride on the logging roads up the mountain side. The next day, my cousin and I headed up with a spare outboard in the boat, put on the extra engine and all returned home. Amazing up there! And lots of stories from the area!
We're very spoiled in beautiful British Columbia with the mountains and pacific ocean and the wonderful wildlife on our doorstep 😄 with so many islands to choose from you've got the perfect yacht for this environment. I love your videos 👏 enjoy your Canadian travels 🇨🇦
Another wonderful video! Excellent narration, wonderful videography, educational background, and perfect choice of background music!!! Keep them coming!
Beautiful video. We took a guided day trip by boat with "instant friends" out of West Coast Wilderness Lodge on June 2022. Lovely then and often look back at our videos to re-experience the joyful day.
A-mazing! Holy jelly, OMG drone footage (How high can that drone go?) I love love love your channel. WOW WOW ..... Lions jelly, cougars and bears oh my..lol
Bears are gonna wake up soon. And we say " we're headin up Jervis and we're headin up chatterbox eh" lol make sure you go to the backeddy pub if it's open this time of year.
Our most favorite place to go on the west coast from Seattle to Sitka. Nothing in the world like it………Not sure if someone commented or not but the sat dish at the head of the inlet is for the ranger that stays at the Ranger’s Station during the summer months. Also, there are some trails that no one knows about 1/2 way down the inlet on the north side. Very well maintained and a great workout the higher you go. They are mountain bike trails with 5 heli-pads as you go up the trails. Also, towards the head of the inlet there are natural water slides (better enjoyed during the summer). Thanks for sharing
You two, or should I say four, did an awesome job describing and showing the inlet. The professionalism shows in the quality of the video. I love your channel and relive my Northwest cruising days through the two of you. Have a blessed year!
Such a magnificent area, and such a wonderful video - I could almost smell the ocean and forest!! Thank you. There are vets/jackets for dogs that have what look like decoration, but the are predators spikes. There are dangers on the ground and from the air - eagles. I don't think they make those jackets large enough for Shawn, but maybe should each have a can of bear spray - works on cougars too. For cougars - wear your baseball cap backwards with sunglasses facing backwards. 😎 confuse the cougars! Lol
I have to say very pretty, the Canuucks got some pretty real estate there. As a avid north Idaho outdoorsman, you kids have nothing to worry about as far as a bear, they are sleepy time till March. Sean is going to scare your cougars off. They might go for a short woman or a small child. If you guys want to come to Sand Point sometime, I'll take you Snipe hunting :) Nice work on the video's, I enjoy them!!
awesome footage from a spectacular scenery , by far the best movie you have done so far , the music, the transitions from aerial to ground and vice versa footage were absolutely amazing , well done congratulations , keep sharing
Thank you for this video! We were there in early September, on our 24' homebuilt cabin cruiser, a Tolman Jumbo 24. We docked on the inside, same end of the dock. When we got in, there was a nice 40' Nordhaven where you docked. Their Star Link was set up on the upper deck. Ours was still stowed inside our boat. Next trip, we'll actually use it. Oh, and there was a heatwave when we were there. So very hot that we all went into that water, glacier-cold water, then hosed off with the "surface water" on the dock. Very refreshing.
I spent my summers in Pender Harbour and used to go up PL inlet all the time. What an amazing place. So happy you are sharing BC with the rest of world. Love your content, please keep it coming. Duncan from Vancouver.
I came across one of your videos as I was searching for info on the San Juan islands a few months ago and loved it so so much that I binge watched all your shows from the very beginning and…. we bought a Searay pretty similar to the one you had before. (Now we need to learn how to drive it😳)I am now caught up with all your videos and enjoy them so much. You do a wonderful job with photography and narration, i love all the fun facts and history you add to your videos. You are both awesome and your dogs are adorable! The landscape is truly magical in this video and your photography is exceptional. Thank you for showing us the beauty of the PNW. Please keep the videos coming! (And hello from Seattle😀)
Went there in 83. Climbed up the path and found a canopy a ways up about 20 feet above the forest floor, walked above, on the canopy over to the creek and then climbed down the side of the waterfall.. There we found a sign saying do not climb.. Did some scuba diving up near to the Hamilton mansion, found an cave about 50 feet down, stunning area.
We've been cruising the south coast of British Columbia for the last 5 summers and Princess Louisa is definitely one of our favorites. We were there last August and picked up a mooring ball at MacDonald Island as the dock at Chatterbox was very busy. The camp dock across from the mooring field is an out station for the main bible camp. They stage the older campers from there for their multiday wildness hikes. The tour of the main camp and a visit to the ice cream parlor is a must do in the summer months. I must say that seeing the peace and solitude of the area in the off season has made us reconsider the timing of our next visit! Thank you for the awesome video.
The two of you make such amazing contact I can’t wait for your actual adventure of living a board and traveling full-time begins. What are you guys create is better than anything network television can do these days
I live in cougar country in the Colorado Rockies. Our neighbor called this morning to tell us one was wandering around our house, so not to let the dogs out. I've only seen them during daylight hours, obviously it's too dark at night. If they know people are around, they don't hang. They are one of the shyest creatures you might one day see.
Slipping on the rocks by the falls is the only real danger your in, I have been there many times and it really is one of the most magnificent places in the world!

I wouldn't worry about bears too much, you have two highly trained guard dogs to protect you.🤗

Those dogs are definitely eagle bait.
Thank you for making my Sunday mornings even more enjoyable.
Those dogs are priceless. Indeed, the forest sometimes feels alive. Cougars; schmoogers- it was probably just a local Sasquatch.

I’m surprised you guy’s don’t have a half million subscribers lol. This was very nice!!!
I'm a B.C. Boy and and live on Vancouver Island and I have to say we are truly blessed with abundance of beauty here! Born and raised in this amazing province of Canada!
thanks for another great adventure! remember you don't have to out run the bear. just your companion. LOL. Jim and Henry (the dog).

Great episode, with fantastic editing! It's like you've got your very own "Look behind you, look behind you!!! Movie"
Ah... Malibu!!! Definitely the most beautiful place on earth.
What an increadable place, thank you for sharing it
Breathtaking scenery! What a treasury of beauty to explore in that place.
Your skill at capturing it is very much appreciated!!
We're very spoiled in beautiful British Columbia with the mountains and pacific ocean and the wonderful wildlife on our doorstep 😄 with so many islands to choose from you've got the perfect yacht for this environment. I love your videos 👏 enjoy your Canadian travels 🇨🇦
B.C. is my home! We are truly blessed eh Mr.Vancouver!? I live 35 mins away from the largest Douglas Fir in the world! Island life is best!
Another wonderful video! Excellent narration, wonderful videography, educational background, and perfect choice of background music!!! Keep them coming!
What a stunning spot. Very happy you did get munched by any oversized kitties. Thanks for sharing. From the UK.
Beautiful video. We took a guided day trip by boat with "instant friends" out of West Coast Wilderness Lodge on June 2022. Lovely then and often look back at our videos to re-experience the joyful day.
A-mazing! Holy jelly, OMG drone footage (How high can that drone go?) I love love love your channel. WOW WOW ..... Lions jelly, cougars and bears oh my..lol
We max out at 397 feet!
Perfect video!!!! Thanks for ALL the super views.
This is the most beautiful anchorage I have ever witnessed. Thank you so much for bringing us along!!💥💥💥💥💥👍🏾👌
Bears are gonna wake up soon. And we say " we're headin up Jervis and we're headin up chatterbox eh" lol make sure you go to the backeddy pub if it's open this time of year.
Thanks for taking us along on your adventures. You are showing places most of us would never see.
Oh my goodness thanks so much for sharing this beautiful place, it's like a dream just spectacular..
.
Vidéo et narration professionnelle. MERCI
Stunning scenery.. thanks for sharing.
Loved it, thank you! Your voice is very easy to listen to, great narration! Truly one of the most beautiful places on the west coast! Thanks again!
Fabulous, views are stunning and the editing superb. Thanks for allowing us the Historic view of PRINCESS LOUISA INLET!

This is probably my favorite video you have ever put out. Simple... and beautiful.
wow, I was there in 1964 with the Royal Canadian Sea Cadets, thank you for the quick tour.
What a fantastic place! Thank you. Your camera work is spectacular
Unreal indeed... Thank you! Stay safe!
That fiord is stunning. Thanks for sharing.
Super beautiful video and excellent narration. 😊
Amazing footage so beautiful- as old man in Eastern Ky Mountains once said “is restful to the eyes - Thanx for sharing ❤
If I could only win the lottery I'd live your lifestyle. Thank you for all the great history of the area.
We didn’t win the lottery either so it’s possible! Just sell everything and make it happen 😉
Wow... WOW - great video! Such a beautiful place! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us!
My goodness, what beautiful scenery!!
You two, or should I say four, did an awesome job describing and showing the inlet. The professionalism shows in the quality of the video. I love your channel and relive my Northwest cruising days through the two of you. Have a blessed year!
So glad yall are doin good!!! How beautiful thank u for sharing
Those dogs are so cute when they’re running together
Such a magnificent area, and such a wonderful video - I could almost smell the ocean and forest!! Thank you.

I was sharing your video with a friend... his comment about the dogs, was that Skip the Dishes comes to Princess Lousia Inlet.
Just great stuff! Audio, video, production, and your self-protection! Thank you!
This is the most Beautiful spot you have taken us so far!
Spectacular!
Had a good chuckle at your choice of music as you walked into, and along, the trail. Perfect. 😁
Yes! Cool Munster music!
That shot starting at 10:36 belongs on a wall. Breathtaking.
Beautiful Video and Narration was excellent. Thanks again
Ahhhh! Those Soothing Tones of Elizabeth!
Man, I can't wait to get my little boat to places like this! Absolutely amazing!
Photography was awesome on this, history was as well!

Absolutely breathtaking and what a treat to have it all to yourself.
Great video, thanks for taking us along
Shoulda gone Squatchin! Stunning scenery. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks again for a fantastic video. Truly enjoyed it.

So cool! We’re headed to Pender Harbour in next week’s video 👍
Looks cold, but so beautiful. Our one regret is we never made it to Louisa Inlet before we left Seattle. Thanks for the gorgeous virtual trip! Cheers!
Thank You... So Peaceful...And as always, love hearing your research. We always look so forward when you post a new video ... The Millers..
I’m loving this series of videos. I’ve lived in the PNW my whole life, but didn’t know that was out there. Thank you!!
I love that song at 12:14. Its called Empty Sky.

Awesome, what can I say beautiful views...thank you.
Can you imagine getting lost there, and at Nite too? This is definitely Sasquatch.
Breathtaking scenery!
Best YT narration by far!
Nothing better than visiting spots like these, without a bunch of people there!
Went there in 83. Climbed up the path and found a canopy a ways up about 20 feet above the forest floor, walked above, on the canopy over to the creek and then climbed down the side of the waterfall.. There we found a sign saying do not climb.. Did some scuba diving up near to the Hamilton mansion, found an cave about 50 feet down, stunning area.
Good to know! We would’ve loved to have dove the area but we were too busy thinking about how cold we were to consider a dive 🥶
Nice job, Elizabeth. Videography and music top notch. It’s a beautiful place. We hope to get back one day.

I love learning of new places in my own country. You two are amazing. Love the videos.
Thanks! 😃
great video and tour, thanks for sharing.
thats a spectacular place to visit even on a poor day 👋
Amazing content thank you!
Wonderful videography and music. Thank you so much for posting this. Your TH-cam work is just outstanding.
The two of you make such amazing contact I can’t wait for your actual adventure of living a board and traveling full-time begins. What are you guys create is better than anything network television can do these days
Gorgeous country and VERY well presented
I live in cougar country in the Colorado Rockies. Our neighbor called this morning to tell us one was wandering around our house, so not to let the dogs out. I've only seen them during daylight hours, obviously it's too dark at night. If they know people are around, they don't hang. They are one of the shyest creatures you might one day see.
Stunning!! One of your best. Both in terms of beauty and narrative.
Slipping on the rocks by the falls is the only real danger your in, I have been there many times and it really is one of the most magnificent places in the world!
