Anchor Inn Prince Rupert

... we didn’t have a shotgun and encouraged us to get one. Go figure that. After we were cleared we went across the harbor and anchored. It was 4:00 and we hadn’t had any lunch. After bacon and eggs we did a little research and found a couple of other spots that provided a better anchorage so we pulled up the anchor and went to check them out. We anchored in Russell Arm with a sail boat. We did get a little bit of chop from passing boats in the harbor, but ...

... were filthy (thank god for flip-flops!). <br>What was of more concern was that we had talked to the owner previously about storing our car and camper there while we were on our ferry trip but he would not give specifics to Jim during their previous phone conversations. Once we got there, he quoted us a rate of $20/day for storage. Since we would be gone 8 nights, this would be $160 total &#8211; still ...

... lugage pack and outside or rooms by 10pm. Packing to come home is easier and hard than packing to go. It was much faster to pack this time than when we packed to come, but there seems to be more stuff to put in the suitcases now. It did all finally fit though, we'll have to see if we make it under 50lbs. for each bag.<br><br>The ...

... and dinner time a cafe opened up on the outside deck that cooked a BBQ of Hotdogs and Kebabs. The views along the Inside Passage were amazing! We saw a pod of Killer Whales (Orca's) at the start of the Fitz Hugh Sound and a couple of Humpback Whales later in the voyage. The only problem with the trip was the weather. The cloud base was rather low which obscured some of the scenery, but even with this the scenery was spectacular! We ...

... could see scores of eagle soaring and diving ahead of us. As we approached we could see that the eagles were "fishing" in a large puddle. They were grabbing chunks of meat that a gentleman, Chuck Long, was tossing into the puddle. We were literally dive-bombed by the eagles. There were as many in the trees as in the air. Many of the eagles were juveniles ...

ATTENTION READERS: THIS PLACE IS MIGHTY BORING!<br><br>There is nothing interest us in this place! It took us 45 minutes to walk from the harbor to downtown and return back to the ship. There is a museum if you interest in history of North Coast human and nature. <br><br>We took whale watching excursion and it was awesome! We saw a pack of Orcas, and they were just amazing animals.

... sourcing through Prince Rupert to make this project live up to expectations. On this morning, it was great to see before me that which I had been writing about in Blog No. 6 - Prince Rupert - The New World Port. Now, it was time for breakfast and one more Egg McMuffin Meal Deal at McDonald's. Coming Soon: Some of you, or perhaps all of you, may be glad to hear this. The next blog will be my final blog of the great Alaska / Yukon adventure. Heading Home to Prince George

Nach Prince Rupert bin ich mit der Faehre gefahren. 15 Stunden lang. Zu sehen gab es jede Menge Inseln, oefter mal einen Leuchtturm, und zwei Doerfer unterwegs. In Prince Rupert habe ich einen anderen Deutschen getroffen, wir haben uns zusammen ein Auto gemietet, um etwas in der Wildness wandern zu gehen. Aber oh Wunder, da oben gibt es keinerlei Wege, die man dazu nutzen kann. Dafuer sind wir in ...

... Landmarks along the way were the crossing the Skeena River,BC's second largest river, passing a sign for Nisg'a Memorial Lava Bed Provincial Park and then crossing the Nass River, all the while soaking in the bears and the beautiful autumn scenery, I arrived at Maziadin Junction. Hopes of another cup of coffee were dashed as the only general store in Maziadin Junction was closed. Even the gas outlet was closed so for anyone ...

... and logging camps until a smooth touchdown in Smith Inlet, at the mouth of the Nekite River, for a night on the floating lodge. Met the owners, guides and four other guests from Ireland and Holland, had lunch, saw a short video of bears, and were warned not to venture off the lodge onto land without a guide. We then went on a guided rainforest walk walk for nearly three hours, following a logging track and turning off into the rainforest along a track used by the bears, and saw ...
