Some of the Dolphins surrounding the boats

Gordie playing with the Dolphins

Old Logging site on Thompson Sound
We arrived in Thompson Sound early afternoon to find Oceanaire tied up to a small log boom and the sight of a school of dolphins cavorting around his boat. The dolphins stayed in the area until late afternoon and then went on to thir night stop.
Around 8:00 pm in the evening, the current kicked in and the raft of 4 boats goes spinning 180 degrees at mach speed, well actually around 3-4 knots. It was wild to watch and it was good to experience so that we wouldn't panic when it happened again in the middle of the night.
Oceanaire was in Thompson around a month ago and told us of a fantastic trip up the valley they took with a guide named Charles. They went fly fishing, saw grizzlies and learned alot about the area through Charles. As luck would have it, we met Charles and he joined us for a spaghetti dinner on Oceanaire with many tales of the valleyand some historical information about himself. What a well spoken, knowledgeble young man he is! We hope to take the tour next time we stop in and have more time.
The weather breaks out in warm sunshine for the afternoon and it rains during the evening.
Thanks for some of the photos DT!
