We’re really on a roll. When we awoke this morning, we found a repeat of yesterday’s weather — flat seas and no fog.

Our luck continued when we arrived in Prince Rupert at 1000 hrs and called the Prince Rupert Yacht Club hoping to get guest moorage, which is always scarce. We got right in!

I spent the next 4 days uploading my blog. To say the WiFi connection was fluky is putting it mildly. On the 5th day I went to the Yacht Club office to see if the signal would be better from there, and learned that there are 2 WiFi connections. So, when I connected to the other connection, PRRYC-UNI, uploading went a lot quicker. I’ll have to remember that for next year.

We spent our last day in Prince Rupert relaxing. Al even took me to dinner at the restaurant touted to have “the best halibut fish and chips in Canada.”

Bob’s on the Rocks is owned by Bob’s ex-wife, who wound up with the “restaurant” as a result of their divorce settlement. This place had glowing online reviews, and was recommended by the wharfinger. You place your order in the building pictured above. Then, they take your order over to a trailer and cook it. They have two picnic tables for your “dining” pleasure. One order, presented in paper boxes and consisting of two pieces of battered, deep fried, thinly sliced halibut, french fries, and a tiny cup of cole slaw carries a price tag of $19! Oh, well. It was an experience, and if we hadn’t tried it, we’d always regret not having halibut fish and chips at the famous Bob’s on the Rocks. We won’t be repeat customers, however.

On our walk back to the boat, I saw these boys enjoying this beautiful day fishing from the docks at Rushbrook Marina.  They looked like serious fishermen.

I also spotted this deer feeding on grass behind Grainger’s, right in downtown Prince Rupert.

Our friend, Roger Palmer asked us to check out the new marina that’s being constructed at the Atlin Terminal, right next to the Prince Rupert Yacht Club.

I spoke to a foreman on the job who says the marina will be finished by the end of this month! Hard to believe.
