We saw a BC ferry, one tub & tow (barge) and a couple of fishing boats (not fishing) as we traveled the rest of the way in Grenville Channel up to Chatham Channel. We called Prince Rupert Rowing & Yacht Club (PRR&YC). I think they have members but will rent slips to non-members when available. The told us they weren’t sure yet if there would be any room so we planned on anchoring in Pilllsbury Cove to wait. We cruised by the city front and checked out the fuel dock. There is only one in town and pleasure boats are way outnumbered by pleasure craft. We were not comfortable fighting our way in with the fishing boats so went off to anchor. There is pretty good wind and chop in the cove. After dinner I noticed that our anchor had slipped. I always place on mark (ý) on the chart plotter where the boat is when first anchored. The good new is that we were not near any rocks, however, the anchor needs to be re-set if we are to stay here. Fred called the PRR&YC to see how it looked for a slip tonight. Jeff at the marina called at 7 pm to say our slip was ready. We had a side-tie on the inside of the floating dock. A really good spot. After securing the boat we went off for a walk. Most everything was closed but the weather was sunny and the walk felt very good. On our way back to the boat we stopped and got a scoop of ice cream at Cowpuccinos. This area of Prince Rupert is called Cow Bay and the cow motif is everywhere. It is really cute.
