Boardwalk at Hartley Bay
Old cannery ruins--Butedale, B.C.
We had a good time in Prince Rupert, our last town to visit in B.C. Left very early on May17 to try to make our second open ocean crossing into Alaskan waters. The water was calm up until we left the shelter of the western islands. Then it got very roly-poly. For the ladies in my BookGroup, this was the "motion of the ocean." Both boats decided that we really didn't want to keep going, so turned back and anchored in a very quiet cove for the night called Brundige Inlet on Dundas Island. Good choice. In the morning Dixon Entrance (our ocean crossing area) was like Bellingham Bay on a good day and we made an easy crossing on the 18th.
Now we are in Ketchikan, Alaska. We made it back to the U.S.A.! We are docked about 50' from the cruise ship dock and have watched 3 cruise ships come and go and a 4th arrived at 7 this morning. Ketchikan is a wonderful little town and we are staying an extra day here.

Sounds like you're having a great trip/cruise. I'm still catching up on your blog, but thought I would say a quick hello from BLI. I'm working on a window seat/bench in front of our living room/dining room and I better get back to work before Naida gets back from the Tu. morning hike. Keep those cards and letters coming..........Larry Grunden
Looks like a lovely trip! Glad you got to see the old cannery before it gets bulldozed!
