Day 87: Brundige Inlet to Prince Rupert

The trip from Brundige Inlet to Prince Rupert was not too rough, but the tide produced currents which made the trip take nearly five hours in our economic slow-boat mode. I’m glad we didn’t try to do that last night!

Prince Rupert is a busy port

Approaching Cow Bay in Prince Rupert

Prince Rupert has several marinas where one can check in with the Canadian Boarder Security Agency, but there is no dedicated customs dock, so we approached Cow Bay Marina where we had stayed on the way north. They were very kind and quickly found us a spot to tie up on their breakwater while we waited for CBSA to clear us. They remembered us from May, and even though their transient docks were full, they found us a spot to stay overnight on one of their long-term slips that had an absent boat.

Nothing much to report on our stay here. We just picked up groceries and gasoline and caught our breath after yesterday’s marathon run south. Opa Sushi, a highlight from our last visit, was sadly not open and nothing else appealed, so there was no break from our own cooking. Luckily, that’s not much of a hardship!
