Prince Rupert is usually very wet - correct!
The average annual rainfall for PR is 100" - we felt some of that today!
Only the dog walkers were out down by the bay....
As ever I spotted a train - I was interested in VIA Rails viewing coach, I think its like you used to see in the adverts for the Rocky Mountain Express, when it was in service. Now it looks like they just run the odd coach!
Having said that the rail link from here to Terrace would be spectacular - in good weather.
The water looks 'dead calm' which is what Mum is hoping for tomorrow; it's a 04:30 start, as the ferry leaves for the 15 hour sail to Vancouver Island, at 07:30, so an early night tonight then!
Eventually the weather cleared up - a bit! Early evening we went a walk for some fresh air and happened to see Mr. Bald Eagle land on a lampost!
