Another sunny day in Prince Rupert. Yesterday and today were the first sunny days of “summer” in this northern town. Jerry and I walked around town wearing our sweatshirts, long johns, wool socks, and coats. We saw many walking around town wearing …

Prince Rupert
Jerry’s Report: We made it to Prince Rupert today, arriving around 10:30 am. It was a bumpy ride but we pushed through it. At one point I had turned around and was heading back to sheltered waters because it was blowing hard and the wind waves were …
Waiting for the group
We heard from the group that they might be joining us later today. The overnight soaking of the crab and prawn traps was not very successful. The crab pot was empty and there were only a handful of prawns – just enough for a light lunch. Today’s w…

Rounding the Cape
The morning report showed the wave height as 1.8 meters which was still pretty high for a comfortable rounding. But since all the other conditions, the wind direction, the wind speed, and the time of the ebb, were perfect we decided to take a chance a…
