Spent the night at a B&B. Said goodbye to Dave &
Audrey [Chris, Leo, Ivan]. Dave is a logger on
Marsby. They were very nice & helpful, and we
enjoyed talking away each evening. For all the boat
rides Dave only wanted $20.00. We took the ferry
back to Queen Charlotte City, then drove up to Mosett
for dinner. Back to Port Clements to pick up my other
gulls. Said goodbye to Michael & [illegible] Janet Brown.
Saw an ad. Red-tail between Port Clements and
Queen Charlotte City, and loads of deer.
We departed The Queen Charlotte at about 23:30 on the
ferry. Slept on deck. Heavy rain towards morning. Arrived
in Prince Rupert at 07:30 the next day.
