Princess Royal Island, Kitimat-Stikine, BC, Canada

Aug 28, 2025 - Aug 29, 2025

Motored from Bishop Bay through Ursula and Princess Royal Channels en route to Butedale. In just a few hours, we saw more humpback whales than in all our time cruising Alaska and BC combined. @Port is so sweet when he sees and hears them. He lets out the softest, mournful cries as if he’s trying to call back 😭 Got permission to tie up at Butedale for the night to split up our travel time. This place is an old cannery town turned into a ghost town, with major development plans in the works. The caretaker’s only request for our stay was to take photos and send them his way.
