and another shot.Here are the parts of the Lodge

Rivers Inlet is hereThere are also two other inlets that go off Rivers Inlet

Here is where our closest neighbours are xOOOO

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

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

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?

And at the back of Magee Channel is Coopers Cove, cause thats where they live.

This is our supply tug & barge, The Gulf Ranger, delivering our groceries. Shes too big to get into the Lodge, so drops the groceries on the Airport float. The planes bringing in the guests cant get to the Lodge either, so drops & picks them up from this float.

And NowJust Some Scenery

Clam Beach the sand looks so white because it isnt sand, its ground shells.Most of the beaches around here are shell beaches.

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