Ok back in Canada. No roaming charges but everything has 12% tax tacked on to it.
Just after Ketchikan we stopped at a temporary anchorage. When hauling in the anchor the windlass sort of fell apart. At the time I thought it could be fixed. Then we had to bash into a 15 knot wind and big waves. Spirits were a little on the low side. Then a large bull orca cruised by about a 100 meters from the boat. Felt a lot better. That night we anchored in Foggy Bay with a catarmaran anchored near by. They took a picture of us.
Next day to Dundas Island where we caught a nice Coho and had two monster salmon dinners.
Green Island Lighthouse just North of Prince Rupert
Once in Prince Rupert it was time to extract the old anchor windlass. It was not easy!
For the next while I will be hauling a 35 pound anchor and a hundred feet of chain by hand. It is a good way to warm up in the early morning hours.
Tomorrow we are off to Banks Island and an early morning crossing to Haida Gwaii on Friday.
