Oh, yes... and *a lot* of landing sites.  No provicnical parks with
"day-picnic only" area, no salmon farms in cosy coves, no private houses in
the best  waterfront areas.  I haven't been too far north, it might still be
a lot of wilderness there, although not in the same condition after decades
of logging activity.  And now they are trying to launch offshore drilling in
Queen Charlotte sound...
