VH-KDK Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Haida Gwaii but known as the Queen Charlotte Islands until 2010. Part of British Colombia, it is about 40 miles off the coast separated by the Hecate Strait. 1. Graham and Moresby Islands are the two main Islands with another 400 smaller ones making up the archipelago. 2. The Holland America Line Eurodam is approaching on it's way south, probably to Seattle. 3. The islands are about 170 miles long by 60 wide at its widest point in the furthest north. It has a population of about 4500. 4. The Eurodam is 935 ft long and carries just over 3000 passengers and crew. It commenced service in 2008.

Stillwater Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 You had confused me with your post title, Martyn: I thought you were flying from Hawaii to Holland... 7 hours ago, VH-KDK said: The islands are about 170 miles long by 60 wide at its widest point in the furthest north.

I prefer the population density of the island! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be a nice place to live but at my age I like some things to be close by. They didn't give the number of bears on the island and I have the feeling you may be outnumbered!

My friend, if you cannot tell the difference between a sheep() and a bear I suggest you plan your future holidays very, very carefully! Also for your own sake never try and shear a bear!

Meal times were not too bad but you had to chose off peak which is not a problem for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Wain, not to bad but I spent a lot of time on deck at the stern watching the world going by and it was fairly quiet there. Also our cabin had a balcony so it was mostly peaceful.
