Big Ships, Little Boats




Here is the range of sizes of vessels plying the waters of the Prince Rupert area.

Leaving the harbour, within one hour we were back in the fog. Two hours of dodging navy ships, fishing boats, logs and islands led us to the top of Grenville Channel, or "The Ditch" as it is called because it is a channel 45nm long and an average of about two miles wide. Here we got a pretty good closeup view of a large killer whale. We motored 77nm today to an anchorage called Coghlan (N 53 degrees 23.740' W 129 degrees 17.211') near Hartley Bay. Not much time for play right now, just putting some miles on.
