Day 10: Ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy

This day we took a ferry from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy, most of the way down the Canadian coast. We knew it was going to be a long day but we were all pretty comfortable. We had to be in line for the ferry at 5:30am and would set sail at 7:30am.

This was a small First Nation (native) town.

Sail boat out super early for a trip.

Some towns had their own fish canneries.

This was the top of our boat.

Then we all took turns taking pictures of each other while we were stopped.

These were our seats pretty much the whole trip. There were 3 rows of 3 seats in our little section and us (or, I should say, our kids) commandeered all 9... It was comfy and laid back.

So, in these, it's tough to see but right in the middle, is a humpback whale.

Here's its tail.

And they had a couple lighthouses. They were all old but didn't really look like the typical American lighthouse.

And this is just to show how tightly packed in the hull we are. Wow. it was seriously tight. I had to be careful not to open the truck door even halfway as to not hit the truck next to us.

After driving off we drove straight to our campground. The people were super nice and stayed up just to receive all of us coming from the ferry. By the time we arrived and set up camp, it was about 12:30am.

All for today!
