Explore
the Inside Passage Aboard 40-Foot Yacht "Spirit Bear"
February 22,
2006 - Port McNeill, British Columbia. There is no better way to
experience the Inside Passage than aboard the “Spirit Bear,”
a 40-foot yacht that has been converted into a luxurious floating
base for exploring, sea kayaking, hiking, wildlife viewing and beach
combing. Northern Lights Expeditions, premier outfitter of camping,
lodge-based and boat-based kayaking adventures for 24 years, has
announced new Gulf Islands, BC, and San Juan Islands, WA, boat-based
kayaking tours.
Its luxury Spirit
Bear Voyages, normally based on northern Vancouver Island, will
now enable guests to enjoy exploring the less remote but always
beautiful waters further south. The Spirit Bear is booked on its
northern waters through mid-July. Its voyage south along the inside
of Vancouver Island and the through the southern island groups will
allow guests to explore routes not previously offered on Northern
Lights’ highly popular “Spirit Bear.”
Late summer
and early fall are excellent times to experience the incredible
Inside Passage area of British Columbia and Washington. Black bears
wander on shore, filling up on food prior to their hibernation period.
The magnificent orcas are at their peak numbers. Dolphins and porpoises
play under the bow of the ship as it sails to a new anchorage. The
Spirit Bear is piloted by a skipper who knows these waters intimately.
And the guide/chef is fully trained to provide gourmet fare aboard,
carefully prepared in the full galley. Special itineraries are designed
depending on the interests and desires of the guests.
A small boat
is carried for side trips and of course kayaks are always available.
As the vessel travels through the Inside Passage, it is anchored
for the evening in quiet coves for peaceful, restful nights. Each
day, the skipper has the option of moving many miles to an entirely
new habitat, from island hopping to the fjords that run into the
coastal mountains. Whatever the weather, the Spirit Bear provides
a comfortable haven to pass the days.
