Pierre's was empty this time of yearThis morning, after a leisurely wakeup, we left Echo Bay for a flat calm crossing to Port McNeill. We tied up behind the Selene 60 "Raindancer" that we had seen several days ago in Prideaux Haven.
Neil and Patrick drove to the Port Hardy airport to pick up the rental car, and by 2:30 PM our first guests (Neil and Noreen Millen) had departed for the long drive back to Sidney to catch the ferry back to their car in Anacortes.
The commercial spot prawn season opened on Thursday, and every 300' depth contour seems to have a string of commercial pots in it.
The weather report continues favorable for a crossing of Queen Charlotte Sound in the morning. We intend to leave about 0500 so we get past Cape Caution before the afternoon westerly winds pick up.
The next post may not be until Prince Rupert, in about one week
Thank you for a wonderful trip. We really enjoyed seeing new places. Hope that the weather continues to be fairly calm and seas mild.
