Never laid eyes on it until now. I think I would like to sail on it.

Gert,

It looks like it will up to us to explore Pitt Lake.

Looks great, reminds me of some of the places I've been in S.E. Alaska. I did a little research, seems as though Pitt Lake is the largest "tidal" lake in the world. The Pitt River, which drains the lake, feeds into the Fraser River at a point where when it's high tide here in the PNW the Pitt River flows backwards. Sounds more than just interesting. This deserves further investigation! Annie and I were planning a ski trip to Blackcomb to do some glacier skiing in a couple of weeks. A little side trip to Pitt Lake wouldn't be too far out of the way. I'll see if she is game.
