Hi Eben

Was there also last year on a cruise, went fishing one morning in the rain, it was interesting to see salmon jumping out of the water being chased by something bigger. Mangered to catch several salmon, had to play them like bluefish as they like to jump. The boat did all it fishing with downriggers. Wished I had time to fish for big halibut.
Also the water color is different from all the silt coming off the land. You have to image mountains that come right up to the water and continue down so that the water is hundreds of feet deep within a stone throw from the beach.
Of the three cities/towns that we stopped at, one is on a island, one you cannot get to by car, only boat or air, and the last you have to drive thru Canada to get to.
