Travelogue-Specials:

I now reached Johnston Strait, an area with good chances of seeing Orcas and other whales. The wind mostly blows in my face and the current seems to be working against me too. As a result I try to stay close to the shore and use the backstream. I see a couple black bears and meet some kayakers, who participate in guided tours from a basecamp.

I decide to pitch my tent on a rocky beach near Telegraph Cove, enjoy a steack after taking a walk through town and call home. The next day I see at least a couple of porpoises.
After about 2 weeks i pull my kayak up a beach, which is about half a mile long and intercepted by a couple of stones. On the far side of the beach a black bear seems to be searching for something edible underneath a rock. I hope we will get along. The sun shines through the clouds and tickels my skin. This is what I have been looking for. I am simply happy to be here.
