A heart stopping moment when we saw what was my first Grizzly on Vancouver Island. It came out of a ditch and started running in our direction I'm thinking at that moment would bear spray stop this big fella? Turns out there was a black bear cub it had in its sights, not interested in us ...whew. We yelled at it and it reluctantly departed, the bear cub stayed near us for the remainder of our time there it knew it was safer with us than without.
We knew the Grizzlies were coming across Johnstone Straight by swimming from small island to island. If that was the case if we just might be lucky enough to find one which we did from my friend Anthony's boat. We didn't get too close for obvious reasons a big crop on this shot.
