A group of us are looking into paddling Princess Royal Island next summer. This is the fourth largest island off the west coast of Canada, north of Bella Bella. It's famous for the Kermode bear, a sub-species of black bears that are white (not albino). Anyone on the list ever paddled that area? Any suggestions regarding the best time to go, transportation tips, camps, hazards, things to see, etc? Any information or advice would be greatly appreciated.

The plane crashed on the mainland with some of its crew possibly still on board.
