Container Ship at Anchor - Prince Rupert
The rain poured on into the lazy Saturday at Cow Bay in Prince Rupert Harbour. Very few signs of human activity could be seen save for the random coming and going at the Petro Canada fuel dock aft of our berth in the Prince Rupert Yacht and Rowing Club. The immediate vicinity on shore offers a quaint coffee shop, Cowpuccinos and a long established pub, The Breakers. One takes you to noon and the other sees you through the balance of the day, provided no other orders of business call. We took coffee and a bagel at Cowpuccinos but retired to Ohana for planning purposes:
