What are Jay & Danica Doing??

22 November 2017
As indicated in our last posting (our very short posting) we have arrived in Prince Rupert, British Columbia.
To be quite honest, we're just playing it by ear right now in regard to when we'll continue on to Seattle. It won't be until 2018, but it will eventually happen.
We're enjoying Prince Rupert and have lots to explore and learn about northern British Columbia.
It is nice to be back in the land of plenty with internet and cell phone access!

We left yesterday to continue our journey to Prince Rupert British Columbia. So nice being out of open water and in the inside passage! Xoxo

We're 2 hrs out from the inside passage. Had a beautiful westerly join us and more stars than I've ever seen! A nice fairwell to the Gulf of Alaska. Stopping for the night to let expected wx pass through. All is well! Xoxo
