Matt started us moving earlier today since we would be going about 100 miles, by far the longest haul of the trip. Our route would be out Princess Louisa Inlet, past Malibu Rapids, through Princess Royal Reach & Prince of Wales Reach, through Hotham Sound and Jervis Inlet, up Malaspina Strait, and into Desolation Sound and the Discovery Islands, where Stuart Island is one of the northernmost islands. The total trip time was about ten hours consisting of several naps, some bald eagles and a few chapters read.

On the way there we took a little detour into Toba Inlet to a big waterfall that the Feldkamps had visited before. The waterfall seemed to spit straight out of the rocks and down the cliff before crashing into Toba Inlet. In my opinion is was a more spectacular waterfall than Chatterbox Falls, especially since Matt could pull the Breanna’s prow right into the deluge and soak all of us in the front of the boat. I asked Bud if the falls had a name and he said no, so we decided to start calling it Breanna Falls.
When we were done taking pictures and getting a little wet (particularly Ross) we headed back out of Toba Inlet, through Pryce Channel and Calm Channel to the northwest side of Stuart Island, where Big Bay was located. Matt and Ross anchored Breanna just off the shore and we ended the day with dinner and the movie Flyboys.
