Alfy and Devlin reach Chatterbox Falls at Princess Louisa Inlet on the Hans Christian 43 and spend two days exploring the area by dinghy and on foot. On arrival, the dock is packed with powerboats and they are the only sailboat; by the next morning most powerboats have left and five sailboats have taken their place.5:47 Tidal timing at the rapids governs when boats can enter the inlet, with an afternoon low-tide slack expected to bring more arrivals.6:06 The Marine Park offers five mooring buoys near McDonald Island, roughly halfway down the inlet, at $10 per night — an alternative when dock space at the head of the inlet is full.2:59 The Loop Trail near the moorings is short and rooty but manageable in flip-flops.4:03 The unmaintained trappers cabin trail is a different matter: 550 meters of elevation gain over roughly three kilometers one way, with steep rock faces requiring fixed ropes, deadfall to scramble over, and no trail maintenance.11:34 The round trip takes about three hours and forty minutes.11:30 Dry conditions are essential — wet rock faces would make descent dangerous.9:12 The cabin itself is gone, reduced to a log foundation and two bed frames, but a waterfall and a clear sightline to Malibu Rapids five miles away reward the effort.11:54 Proper footwear, water, food, bear spray, and headlamps are recommended.13:44
