Cowpuccino in Prince Rupert

Looking towards the northwest from the dock in Prince Rupert last night.

Saturday morning breakfast was at the local coffee shop, Cowpuccino.   This is located in Cow Bay, so named for the cargo that was loaded/exported from the interior of Canada.

With a name like that, we had to go there...
And the goodies they have, oh my!

Then a hike through the Sunken Gardens, located in a former quarry next to the courthouse.



  We spotted this old steam roller there, and thought of you, Luke.











Boat chores galore was the main calling for the day.  So, we cleaned the engine room, changed all water filters, took out the trash, vacuumed, and otherwise tidied things up.  Fortunately, there are no pictures to bore you with of us cleaning.

Our friends, Pam & Rick, have a Selene 47 named Jean Marie.   We first met them in Sitka when Rick helped us out with dock lines as we were coming in.  Anyway, they joined us for appetizers and non-alcoholic beverages.   They had reservations at the Crest Hotel for dinner where we ate the night before, so they headed out about 1800.

We decided to dine at the Breakers Pub at the head of the marina instead.
Dessert.   Cheesecake with butterscotch sauce.

Having eaten too much, Karen & I went for an evening stroll around the docks.
Sharp-eyed Karen spotted this seagull atop the breakwater (pipe) at the marina.

Time for us to checkout for the day and head to bed.  

Good Night.

    Sure took summer a while to get there, but it looks like it was worth the wait. Gorgeous!

    Alaska is really spectacular, even more so when the sun is out. As a PNWer, I think it’s beautiful in the rain and fog too.

Things that broke, in chronological order (2024)…

And what we did or didn't do about it... Kabola furnace ship hot water loop, inop. ·        We never did find the fix for this.    Costica (Kabola genius) was aboard to help diagnose while we were still in Anacortes. Windlass ·        Turned out to be the breaker (Doh!).    Just closed the breaker and voi-la!    It worked. Thrusters (bow & stern).   When we moved to Lithium batteries and installed new chargers, we forgot to account for the AGMs on the thrusters, so they had no chargers.    ·        Installed AC-DC chargers (bow and stern) that run off the inverter.    Not ideal, but it was expeditious.    Woody came to Campbell River and brought two chargers and installed them – Thanks, Woody. Propane system for the gas cooktop.    We had an intermittent very low flame to no flame if multiple burners were on....

In Foggy Bay, Alaska

We are experimenting with Blogger.   Please be patient and we welcome all well-intentioned advice. This morning at 0742, we departed Prince Rupert, BC (see pic on right) for Brundige Inlet, BC, but after a few hours of motoring NNW, the weather was so favorable in Dixon Entrance that we decided to continue on to Foggy Bay, Alaska.   We cleared US Customs while underway via CBPRoam without any issues.   We snaked into the inner bay and dropped the hook at 1422.   And Foggy Bay is aptly named; visibility is about 1/2 mile as verified by radar. Foggy Bay has a super tight tricky entrance to the inner bay.   Beware the known uncharted rock just south of the islet as you enter the inner channel (I added it to our charts, see pic below).  After a scary bit of steering to avoid what I thought were rocky shoals along the east side of the west islands, we are at last anchored in the inner bay; 35’ deep with 115’ of chain out; safe and snug.   The “rocky shoals”...
