May 23


We are in Prince Rupert at the Prince Rupert yacht club. We woke up to beautiful blue sky and calm water this morning and 37 degree temperature. It warmed up quickly and we had the best weather day of the trip so far.

It is blowing hard out in Dixon Entrance and they are predicting gail force winds blowing out of Portland entrance which according to the locals means 9 foot waves. That is different than 9 foot rollers we encountered crossing Queen Charlotte strait. So if that is the case we will go as far as Port Simpson and sit tight for calmer weather.


So far we have seen 3 bears. Two black bear and one Grizzly.

Picked up some fuel her for 1.34 a liter which is considerably less than we paid at the last stop.

did ont run out of fuel enroute so I am happy.


Went up and had dinner at Smiley's which came highly recommended by the locals and by Ed, Chris's dad.


No Verizon connectivity here, very strange.
