People are so scared of grizzly bears, but chances are if you respect them, they’ll respect you. Scary to think that if I had a tag for a grizzly I could have shot this bear from the driver seat of my car- all for the trophy. It’s grizzly hunting season in BC, and it’s horrifying to imagine how many of these beauties will be shot this season.

My first grizzly experience! 10 feet outside my car on the Cranberry Connector in Northern BC. What beautiful beasts.

Ooona River is a small community living on Porcher Island on BC’s north coast. The river here was almost devoid of coho in the 1980′s. After over 30 years of stream enhancement work, and a community hatchery being built, it now sees runs of up to 400 coho, and 20,000 pinks.

The last week was an absolute treat. Last Friday, Saturday, and Sunday were spent anchored off Jericho Beach and at the Vancouver Folk Music Festival, dancing our hearts out with great friends and music. Between Monday and yesterday we sailed to Tribune Bay on Hornby Island and back, sailing up-wind the whole time. Top speed: 7.5 knots. Couldn’t be more thankful for such a great week with great friends out on the Salish Sea. #explorebc #pnw #ilovebc #westcoast #sailing #salishsea #sailboat #summerfun #sailingupwind #funinthesun #beautifulbc #lovethiscoast #goplayoutside

Yesterday the mountains were calling-so we answered . 600 m elevation climb in 2.5 hours leads to an epic view at the top. #hiking #pnw #westcoast #vancouverhikes #wilderness #justgoshoot #lovenature #explorebc #ilovebc #vancouver #goplayoutside #mountaintop #mountaintopview

It’s absolutely awesome to have a boss who empowers you, and trusts you- even when it comes to running his 46′ catamaran sailboat through a shallow, narrow passage. This February (and April), I was again lucky enough to work with Pacific Wild- this time for 3 weeks, and then 2. Working with this organization and being lucky enough to see what I have reminds me just how beautiful our coast here in BC is, and what is at stake if we don’t treat it properly.

From February 26-March 17, I was again lucky enough to find myself aboard the S/V Habitat working for Pacific Wild . This trip had another element though, because we were collecting footage for the upcoming Great Bear Rainforest IMAX film. Yes, you heard that right- within 2 years there is going to be a 40 minute film on giant screens around the world just about the Great Bear Rainforest. I cannot wait to see it myself. Being apart of the team creating it is an absolute dream come true.

I love this spot,
The constant sound of the river,
Flowing all around me,
Its cold soaking into my skin,
Freezing my toes.
Fly rod in hand,
Lost in the motion of the cast,
Trying to find a fish.
This experience is my therapy,
It clears my mind,
Relaxes my soul,
and refreshes my spirit,
