August 3, 2024 – Saturday
Prince Rupert Harbor was bustling with activity as we departed. A couple of BC ferries were underway, along with a tow and barge, and a variety of small boats zipping around. It was a hazy day as we headed towards Grenville Channel, with calm waters and no wind to speak of.
As we entered Grenville Channel, the traffic began to thin out. Despite the channel’s reputation for being a busy waterway, we encountered very few boats on our way to Klewnuggit Inlet. The tranquility was a welcome change, allowing us to fully appreciate the stunning scenery around us.
As we traveled down the channel, the wind and waves gradually increased. By the time we arrived at Klewnuggit Inlet, the wind was blowing at 20-25 knots, and the waves had grown to 2-4 feet. The waves were coming from the stern, making the ride a bit bumpy but not too uncomfortable. We were relieved to turn into the calm waters of Klewnuggit Inlet, where we could finally relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.
We were amazed that the cruise ship was so close to our boat.
