Description

Oceanic whispers hint that the next time captain Magillacuddly's family and friends get out to travel, his son, Bug, will meet Mac, the self-described "clamshell king" of Princess Louisa, which Mac gave in 1952 to the International Society of Princess Loiuisa Inlet, a collection of Pacific Northwest yacht clubs that manages the area as a park with the Canadian government, unless American Presidential dementias worsen. If the oceanic whispers persist, future travels may well include the Haida Gwai in the Queen Charlotte Islands, where the Haida tribe still live and create magnificent designs of their totemic faunas, such as Raven.
