Float Plane!!!!

OMG. SO. AWESOME. I wish I could travel by float plane all the time! Wow, it was so fun and so beautiful! I travelled with one other teacher from Zeballos on Air Nootka, our Flight captain's name was Doug. He was great. Everything about this plane was great. I can't even get over it. I was a total tourist. I took a ton of pictures and Elise and I asked him a million questions. He was very obliging and told us all about the Nootka Sound area. If you ever get a chance to fly in a float plane, DO IT!

Zeballos - Gold River:
It was a gorgeous day, I have some amazing pictures of the area (see below) and the ride was incredibly smooth!

Gold River - Zeballos:
We almost couldn't fly because of a storm warning, but Doug said that the storm had passed by 4pm so we hopped in! This ride was bumpier and rainy, and my camera was dead ...but I wish it hadn't been! I saw TWO BEARS (separately), and two huge groups of sea otters! Doug actually flew us around in a circle so that we could get a better look at the sea otters in their huge floating group.

I am still so excited just thinking about how fabulous the rides were!
