Exploring the Great Bear Rainforest aboard a historic wooden 21-m (68-ft) yacht: adventure filmmaker, Pat Morrow, the first person to climb the Seven Summits, hosted a workshop on filmmaking with his wife, Baiba. Stretching up the British Columbia coast from north of Vancouver Island to Alaska, the Great Bear is the world’s largest intact coastal temperate rainforest. Over seven days, guests captured footage within 15 m (50 ft) of feeding grizzlies, kept pace with humpback whales and Dall’s porpoises, and knelt next to streams churning with spawning salmon.
