In the beginning of September most commercial boat in Prince Rupert stop fishing and our favourite fish and chips shop ‘Bob on the Rock’ just closed and will reopen again in the next summer. Seeing our dock friends leave to go back home including our new challenge sailors friends makes us understand we must leave soon as well. The weather is good and we have a pretty nice wind we are now try to rush in equipment installation (water maker) that is about 90% completed.
This has been Steve’s boat home for over 20 years, many great memories and hard to leave good friends.
Dave Anderson is the Sailing Associations Commodore. He has had a dream to own a Fisher 37 so if he looks a little green in the picture…..
Steph is checking for the wind generator. He thinks the bearings are needing replacing:-(
Foggy until late morning at the harbour.
Fog burning off for another beautiful day on the North Coast.

We just got a mini printer on board.
Pump for the Salt water in the Galley. A real pain due to French Metric and Canadian Imperial hoses not matching.
Water filter for the Kat 40e water maker.
God I am sick of trying to fit big things in small spaces. (did I just say that)
Nothing fits , so many couplings to match existing hoses with new.
Cockpit locker empty while I do the plumbing.
Almost plumbed in.
Filter with the fancy 3 way valve cut off thanks to Thai photographer.
Vacuum sealing food. Small portions so that moisture does not ruin.
More rice ,flour noodles Thai stuff.
