Stopped into Port McNeil after we saw a sign saying "world's largest totem pole." But alas, it wasn't in this town. They did, however, have the world's largest burl. What is a burl, you ask? It's a deformity in a tree, a mutation, that when harvested can be carved into lovely dining ware. Or so we have heard. In Port we found a library, chinese food, bike shop, and info center. There was a really friendly seal in the harbor. There was a fisherman feeding him scraps. When I asked him about the seal he told me that I should shoot them if I get the chance because they "eat too many damn fish." As far as I see it it's open water, and I don't think seals eat more fish than they need. We set up camp right in town after we discovered that the ferries wouldn't be leaving until two days.
