[Paddlewise] cougars and campsites

Dear Paddlewisers:
     Our group will be paddling in the vicinity of Goletas and Gordon
Channels NW of Port Hardy, Vancouver Island this summer. Does anyone have specific information on where to camp and fish in that area consisting
of many islands. Also, I worry increasingly about encounters with
cougars. How does one reduce the possibility of becoming an object
of a cougar's attentions? Do cougars swim from island to island like the
wolves and bears do?
