The forecast for Dixon Entrance today was excellent: winds
west 5 to 15 knots, swells one meter or less. Green Island Lightstation reported wind
less than 10 knots and one-foot chop. The Central Dixon Entrance buoy reported
12-knot winds and a lazy 4 foot swell.
The forecasts were spot on. We had basically calm
conditions, save for a gentle swell. The trip across was long and pretty boring
(that’s a good thing).

We arrived in Prince Rupert around 7:00 p.m. (we lost an
hour due to the time change). Customs clearance was quick and easy, then we
headed for Pillsbury Cove to drop the anchor for the night.
From Pillsbury Cove we ran over to town in the dinghy to
pick up fresh produce that we weren’t permitted to carry across the border, then
got an early night. Tomorrow we’ll continue south.
