Oh yeah, now we remember. The docks here can rock and roll when there is wake from other boats. And the fishing fleet appears to like to head out around 5:00am. So we were woken up again as we rocked for about 45 mins, and then everything calmed down again and we all (i.e.: Bella) went back to sleep.
We caught up a bit on computer stuff, and then headed out to Cowpaccino's for some coffee and lunch. They were slammed busy so it took quite a while. We ended up spending a couple of hours talking to a local guy, Jack, who worked for CN. He was very interesting and was also very interested in our views on the States. He was an ex-RCMP member as well and had some interesting tales and stories about people he had come across. He was thinking of moving back down to the lower mainland.
After that we went back to the boat to drop off Miss B, and then walked over to the museum. It is in a really lovely building and it has some great exhibits. I do love BC in that we learned all about the Tshimsian nation from our tour guide, Krishna Sharma. After that, Greg wanted something to eat so we went into the Breakers pub where we could also get a beer and a Ceasar! As we were sitting at the table waiting, we noticed someone walking their doxie on the dock in front, and realized later that it was "Lowla" from Potest Fieri who we had met in Sitka. I went out to say Hi to Susan and Danny and of course the dog. They took the dog for a "pump out" and then met us in the pub and we had a beer together. It was quite warm out so we even tried sitting outside, but eventually it just got too cold.
Back to the boat for a late, very light dinner. Greg also laundered a lap blanket that Bella had pee'd on, and that turned into a bit of a project.
