- After Klemtu we got immersed in the rain and cold.
- The pictures below were taken when the rain let up as we approached Prince Rupert

- We dropped by Butedale and discovered it has been bought by some company and big changes are afoot.
- We motorsailed in to Bishop Bay hot springs. We were the only bodies around. We tied up to the dock and a three minute walk brought us to this fantastic hot springs. What a treat in this frigid damp drenched climate.
- Two days brought us to Prince Rupert
- We anchored in Pillsbury Bay with the intention of going into Prince Rupert the next day. At about 2030 hr I decided to check the weather. To my dismay it seemed like it was going to be gale force winds for at least the next two days. On the spur of the moment we decided to motor all night towards Ketchikan. It worked. The winds weren't too bad and for the most part it was dry and we were even helped out by a bit of moonlight for six or eight hours.
- The next afternoon we pulled into Ketchikan. The extreme wind and rain had started. After a nerve wracking approach into the harbour we were finally safely tied up and took a day off to wait out the ugliness going on in Clarence Strait
