Exploring British Columbia & Kynock Inlet
We continued our journey south through the Inside Passage today, exploring the coast of British Columbia and stopping for afternoon hikes, kayak opportunities, and zodiac cruises at Kynock Inlet. To summarize the day’s happenings, we collaborated and tried our hand at Haiku, a Japanese three-line lyric poetry form.
Haiku Aboard the Sea Lion
pre-dawn messengers
softly coming to our craft
petrels preaching peace
rain landing on heads
rolling raucously downwards
to tickle warm skin
Zodiac in rain
’neath sheer cedar cloakéd cliffs
kittiwakes cry joy
cedar beckoning
scented curtains of green lace
framing bear pathways
waterfalls singing
schooling salmon make their way
black bear runs splashing
underway again
captain says secure all gear
time to rock and roll
