A late evening drive to Port Hardy and a beautiful 15 hour boat ride up the Inside Passage, we have arrived in Prince Rupert! Not quite sure what to make of it yet, but at least the forecast is for no rain the entire time we are up here...
Leaving the torrential downpours on the Island behind us, the MV Northern Expedition took us north across Queen Charlotte Sound into the brilliant sunshine! The whole trip up to Prince Rupert we had warm sun, smooth waters, and incredible scenery. Even the food was amazing...What a way to begin our journey! Sadly, we spotted no Spirit Bears on Princess Royal Island, but saw many glacial features, whales, and met some great people.
Today in PR is our day to get organized with our presentation schedule at PRSS tomorrow and pick up any essential items we may have forgotten before heading to Haida Gwaii tomorrow on the overnight ferry. Our first presentation will be in Haida Gwaii on Wednesday in Queen Charlotte City, (allowing Tuesday for the motion sickness meds to wear off...) and Thursday in Masset, before coming back to Prince Rupert and continuing on to Prince George.
