Today's cruise across the often dreaded waters of the Dixon Entrance couldn't have been easier. Leaving at 4:45 AM, we were blessed with calm seas and long, rolling ocean swells which made the day so much better than our northbound transit. We cleared BC customs--Main Attraction by phone 2 hours out and Bowhaus by phone but they were asked to appear at the Lightering Dock for customs to check them out. Go figure. It is always inconsistent and just depends on who you get on the phone. The agent who spoke with Doug asked if they were just arriving from Washington State. Huh? And she asked him to spell Cow Bay. But we are here and it's good to be back in Prince Rupert and, specifically, Cow Bay Marina which is one of the friendliest in BC. Plus, PR has two great restaurants. We are going to stay and extra day, in fact.
Leaving our anchorage in Foggy Bay early this morning. Bye-bye, Alaska.
This shot double exposed Bowhaus but wanted to include it because the approach to the Dixon Entrance seemed surreal this AM
On Saturday, we will head south again and for 3 successive anchorage so the likelihood of an Internet connection in any of those spots is, well, quite unlikely.
