Woke up day 11 in Whistler and tried to get a little earlier start since there was no breakfast at the lodge. Headed out and immediately found drops of water forming on the windshield. It wasn't raining we had just driven into the clouds. Had a quick breakfast at a Tim Horton's which is a cross between a low budget Starbucks smashed into a nice burger king.
Headed on down the road and found the ferry landing, managed to buy tickets ride immediately on board sailing ten minutes later. Made our way up to the theater like area with nice seats looking out the front picture windows at the passage going by. It was like watching a documentary on the inside passage with the volume off on a panoramic screen.
Once off made our way up island along the eastern coast to Campbell River, self proclaimed salmon fishing capital of Canada. Sitting at the pub next door about 9 PM, still light out, watched to of the seasons first cruise ships negotiating the inside passage. Noticed that across the street on the walkway was a sign indicating the 50th parallel, no wonder it was still light.

That just about sums it up, great roads, great weather, a little pucker factor, and unbelievable scenery.

Sounds like the scenery is recharging. You have not mentioned the locals as you usually do on previous trips. Do they have an accent or do you all have an accent??
