princess louisa it is!
The exploits of all those early explorers have always amazed me... poking into places without charts (think Sand Heads, Spanish Banks, Columbia bar etc etc) in very unwieldy vessels. And how about the first time they stuck their noses into Porlier pass or Active? or the rapids up north...

If you go, when you go, have a great trip!
