We were now getting into some pretty narrow channels. No danger of collision, but it was easy to see the land on both sides, and the scenery became quite impressive. And the day was turning colder too.
I think this was the first waterfall emptying directly into the sea that we saw.
We passed this vessel as it was passing a snow covered mountain, not that it's easy to tell given the low cloud!
We were headed into there! Just headland after headland of scenic wonders.
The little (perhaps an understatement) settlement of Butedale on Princess Royal Island. A closeup of the builing on the shore shows it to be in need of major repairs! A second look at the photos suggest this has been abandoned, or at least that part of the village visible to us as we passed.
Another waterfall into the Royal Channel from Princess Royal Island.
A small, entirely tree covered, island just off from the shore. We saw a number of these on the journey.
