As we travelled along the coastline we generally motor sailed as we were in the wind shadow so the winds were variable at best with the odd light rain showers. Prince Rupert Bay is a big natural harbour at the nothern end and as we approached Alexis sped out to us to try and sell us some tours he journeys 2.5 miles out to greet us in his boat so was disappointed when we declined his river tour but his eyes lit up when we said we needed a buoy so he sped off to fund us one and sure enough was waiting for us when we arrived. He declared the price at 12 USD and whatever we wanted to add on for him.

 

All tied up we went ashore to explore and like Rousseau the shoreline looked shabby and unkept a harp contrast to the French Island of Martinique and is was clear to see the wealth disparity between the two islands. The silver lining was that we did manage to find a very nice local restaurant after trekking up the hill where we had a nice meal before returning back to the boat.
