Monday June 23. South of Prince Rupert.   Entering Queen Charlottes Sound at eleven o'clock, the sun actually feels warm. This is an open stretch of water and we are not protected by the narrow channel.    The Captain has warned us that the seas may become rough. Knowing this I take the opportunity to go below deck and tighten the tie-downs on the bike. Once through the Sound we have Vancouver Island on the starboard side. We are making about seventeen knots and expect to arrive Bellingham at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. The channel is very narrow and I can see wildlife on the shore.                                                                                                                                                                                                  I have enjoyed the cruise.  It was great to find time to read, talk with fellow passengers and see the extraordinary landscape of the Tongass National Forest.

It is time to start thinking about motorcycling again. I have decided to change my tires in Kirkland Washington at Cascade BMW.
