 Image (c) Paul Smith This beautiful photo by first mate Paul Smith shows a grizzly sow in her autumn world: a brilliant green and gold estuary, where a small river lets salmon penetrate the rainforest after a journey up a coastal fjord. In the company of gulls, ravens, eagles and a host of other creatures, she’ll spend almost every day in this spot in all kinds of weather. Some years, she’ll have a cub or two with her. Some years, she’ll be on her own. From the Great Bear Rainforest. See the full size photo on Maple Leaf’s Photo of the Month page. Read about the Great Bear Rainforest tour. |

Taken by first mate Jose Larochelle. Beauty!
Sailing the Maple Leaf is a lot of fun, but it’s also great to get out on the water and experience her moving by. You’re sitting still on the water in a zodiac in front of her, and you watch her approach.
Amazingly those giant sails use the wind and send all 95 tons of ship forward, with just the ripple of her wake for sound. It’s an awesome experience.
