The stunning remains of this wreck sit on a pebbled beach with a backdrop of rainforests. We're looking past the remnants of the bow, through driving rain into the Hecate Strait, the notoriously rough waters that drove the 264-foot log barge aground during a winter storm in 1928. On this day we were to take a day long zodiac ride to SGang Gwaay UNESCO World Heritage Site and National Historic Site: Cancelled due to rough seas. It makes me wonder why I thought this trail was a good idea. I guess I wanted to test my raingear. We came back on the following day to hike in the sunshine, which felt like it was a completely different place. The Pesuta Shipwreck Trail is one of the most popular hiking trails on Haida Gwaii.

Beached!

An eagle peers down from a large cedar tree to what lies below. Is it lunch, or an intruder?

Standing on North Beach looking back at the lush temperate rainforest on Tow Hill. There are tire tracks on the beach, which is long and flat, tides move quickly as we will find out in a couple of hours. The North Pacific Ocean wraps around, and behind me to a point on the island where the open water meets the even less forgiving, Hecate Strait. On this day blue skies and a gentle breeze, a day earlier "sideways" rain in spectacular fashion and volume.

Tides Out, Tracks In

North Beach looking at Tow Hill and the Pacific Ocean. Haida Gwaii has a special place in my heart. #TidesOutTuesday
