Late in the day we received a message from Jen that she saw a bear "on a mission" walking and swimming down the inlet, a quick pit stop and a delayed supper enabled us to make contact with the bear several times over the next hour and a half over which it was reckoned he travelled about 5 km. It was SB.
SB walking with purpose down the Khuzeymateen shoreline, he only infrequently made eye contact as we carefully floated up to him, definitely a man on a mission, probably a female involved? But look at those fresh gashes on his back right leg.
