Knights Inlet

Wednesday, March 21st, 2007

I finally made it to real luxury! The plan is to fly by float plane to the end of the Knight Inlet which is located on the B.C Coast half way between Vancouver and Bella Coola. Bryce, Stian, Billy Adam,Dustin and I arrive to a beautiful blue day where we board the 110 foot luxury yacht, the Astral Star. Things can’t be better, Snow is good, great crew and we’re staying on a yacht with a helicopter parked on the beach. Our first day is crystal blue but our helicopter has left over a heated conversation with the boat captain. We manage to get another heli in. On our third run Stian and Jane release a cornice that triggers a class 4 slide and almost crushes the heli with 4 of us in it. Miraculously we’re all okay but the heli leaves as it needs to be torn down and inspected. We debrief for a couple days before heading home as there is no heli to fly us.
