Aug 28 & 29– Prince Rupert
Staying in Prince Rupert for the day and night. The Thomas’s kids are all flying out on the 28th and on the 30th. Plans changed and now we are staying in PR for three nights. Three nights in one place that is unheard of. LOL Who cares, we are on vacation. The PR airport is on an outlying island so you check in at a hotel across from Walmart and then board a bus to get on the ferry and be delivered to the island. This all starts 2 hr 15 min. before takeoff.
Prince Rupert is busy; seems lots of boats are heading south. Several of the large yachts have come in, checked in with customs and then headed out again. ‘Talos’ and ‘Sin or Swim’ have come in.
The fishermen with their guides are coming in daily with fish, not tons each but enough to say they went fishing. Today one boat came in with a large Halibut for each member on the boat. The smallest one was about 50 lbs. and the largest reported at 65 lbs. That will keep those guys happy for a while. There were so many fish being cleaned (Halibut and Salmon) that the resident seals were not even going near the cleaning station. Yep the seals were either full or picky eaters today.
The salmon here is dwarfed by the Halibut
‘Sin or Swim’ leaving PR at 6:30am.
The crew looked like they wanted to still be in bed.
