We knew that we wanted to visit a series of waterfalls known as Albas Falls, but we didn't realize how pressed for time we were going to be getting there. When we were having lunch and swimming, it seemed like we had all the time in the world. By the end of the day I had the engine rpm's turned up, trying to make it just a little bit further before the mandatory hour-before-sunset beaching time. After a mad dash (only 9km/h) up the Seymour Arm, our pontoons slid up onto our private beach with not a second to spare. We drove stakes into the beach and then secured the mooring lines.
In the evening we took a few more slides, then came inside to play Sushi Go and have hot chocolate and Tim Tams. Everyone was so tuckered out, we were in bed by 9pm.
It got cold overnight so we ended up turning the furnace on. In the morning we woke to an overcast and rainy day, not great for a day on the beach, but just fine for a hike.
The forest floor was silent and covered with moss. The waterfalls were beautiful and treacherous in the spots where steep cliffs overlooked them.
The tacos, cooked trailside, were delicious.
After getting back to the Aspirus (our boat), we spent some time warming up in the hottub. Mason tried his hand at fishing and quickly caught this beauty. Heather was able to record the whole thing, from the heroic fight, to the release.
I ran the engine a couple times to charge the batteries, but we spent the entire day on our beach. Maybe we will do some more exploring tomorrow.
