This is the mouse click version of our PowerPoint presentation.

1. 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.

2. Here’s a not so quick introduction to where we live

3. So Where In the World Is Sleepy Bay, Rivers Inlet?

10. Right here

11. We are: 89 km north of Port Hardy – our closest “town” 220 km northwest of Vancouver 3819 km west northwest of Ottawa AND 4958 km due west of Rivers Inlet is, not Japan, But Utashud, Siberia

12. A Picture of our bay – the back part of Sleepy Bay

13. Lodge Boat house House Generator Guest Cabins Gus’s Cabin Guest Boats Gandalf and another shot. Here are the “parts” of the Lodge

14. Moses Hardy At the head of the Inlet is the First Nations Village of Oweekano Rivers Inlet is here There are also two other inlets that go off Rivers Inlet

15. Dawson’s Landing Rob, Nola, Amber & Crystal Buck’s Camp (Finn Bay) Art & Shelly Sleepy Bay (Us) Cooper’s Cove (McGee Channel) Richard & Sheila Robin’s Nest (Sunshine Bay) Robin, Sarah & Charlotte Here is where our closest neighbours are O O x O O

16. 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

17. This pass is know as “Slaughter Alley”. Local legend has it that one band of Natives massacred another in this spot.

18. 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?

19. And at the back of Magee Channel is Cooper’s Cove, ‘cause that’s where they live.

25. 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

26. 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.

27. And Now Just Some Scenery

28. Clam Beach – the sand looks so white because it isn’t sand, its ground shells. Most of the beaches around here are shell beaches.

29. This is just in behind Clam Beach. The Island in the background is Calvert Isl.
