Port Hardy - Prince Rupert (ferry)





We got on the boat, so that means that we didn't oversleep.  saw harbor porpoises on the way out.  I saw a humpback whale from the port-side of the ship, ran to get chris, but by the time we got back the whale was gone.  luckily we saw 8 other humpbacks and all of them breached repeatedly.  Got to Prince Rupert pretty late at night.  Set up the tent at a fork in the road.  After about half an hour in the tent I heard some pitter patter on the pavement and thought it was maybe some deers.  When I opened the tent flap I saw a big black wolf and the rest of his pack!!  We waited a few minutes in the tent, then I ran out to the bikes to get our pepper spray and a bike wrench.  When I got back chris was breaking the cardinal rule of sleeping in the wilderness.  He was eating in the tent!  It was just a Cliff Bar, but still... I mean we just had a pack of wolves outside of our tent.  Anyway, we both lived to die another day.  Hopefully no problems getting on the ferry again seeing that I have no passport.
