This is the mouse click version of our PowerPoint presentation.
Most (but not all) of the slides advance with a click. Also some of the effects
within the slide are started with a click. Just wait about 3 seconds – if nothing
happens, CLICK.
Here’s a
not so quick
introduction to
where we live
So
Where
In the World
Is
Sleepy Bay, Rivers Inlet?
Right here
We are:
89 km north of Port Hardy – our closest “town”
220 km northwest of Vancouver
3819 km west northwest of Ottawa
4958 km due west of Rivers Inlet is,
Utashud, Siberia
not Japan,
AND
But
A Picture of our bay – the back part of Sleepy Bay

Not all the names we use are on the chart. Some are local names.
Here is where they are:
Klaquaek Channel is locally know as “The Lake”. In any wind other than a SW one, this area is calm like a mirror
This pass is know as “Slaughter Alley”. Local legend has it that one band of Natives massacred another in this spot.
Boaters know this area as Fury Cove as it is behind Fury Island.
Locals call this area “Clam Beach” – do I really have to tell why?
And at the back of Magee Channel is Cooper’s Cove, ‘cause that’s where they live.

Our Vehicles
Dove
our work boat. Called Dove as it looks like a bar of soap
Pip
Our crew boat. The Rivers Inlet equivalent of a family sedan
This is our supply tug & barge, The Gulf Ranger, delivering our groceries. She’s too big to get into the Lodge, so drops the groceries on the Airport float. The planes bringing in the guests can’t get to the Lodge either, so drops & picks them up from this float.
And Now
Just Some Scenery
Clam Beach – the sand looks so white because it isn’t sand, its ground shells.
Most of the beaches around here are shell beaches.
This is just in behind Clam Beach. The Island in the background is Calvert Isl.

It does snow here
What a cool bird - brrrrr.
But mostly it is just
beautiful
