Wandered around for a it back at the cow Bay/Prince Rupert waterfront. I took a quick nap in a bench and woke to a notification from Ashley that she was home and I could come to her place any time. Thanks Dustin for reminding me about Couchsurfing! I'd wanted to check out the brewery, but decided to drop Ky stuff off and invite Ashley. The two of us headed back down to the Wheelhouse Brewery.
It was fun hanging with Ashley, she and I got along well, and she knew half the bar! We got talking to the guys next to us (one interjected when he heard us talking about how to fix democary); turns out they're military divers and needed to talk to someone from the coast guard (aka, Ashley) about where to store their boat and dive. They also apparently need divers in Calgary and were trying to convince me to apply...
Back at Ashley's, she heated up some dinner (salmon and rice with Greek salad) and we chilled out on her deck with her new fire pit.
The next morning I woke at 0415 to catch the Northern Explorer down to Port Hardy! I was the very first vehicle/person on the boat! I got to run around alone for about 5min!
The day on the boat was chill, we had lovely weather, beautiful views but not much wildlife. I saved window seats for Leigh and Paul, a couple I'd met on Haida Gwaii, and we met 2 grads, Sam and Jenny, travelling the country from Ontario (who'd just come down from the Yukon) and a fisherman and his son.
On arrival into port hardy I booked it to my hotel, the pioneer Inn (would not recommend, but it was fine in a pinch) to crash for the night.
