This place was built as a seaplane base to protect against Japanese invasion in the second world war and turned into a fly in fishing lodge after the base eventually closed. There is a lodge, restaurant (quite good), the marina, a fuel dock, a couple of stores and a marine repair yard.
The native town of Bella Bella is across the bay and a water taxi runs back and forth all day for $5 , not sure if that is one way or return fare.

Will decide tomorrow whether to stay or go based on the latest forecast. Since we have all the time in the world there is no point in going out into unpleasant weather, better to sit at the dock with a good book.
