August 8, 2005 Prince Rupert to Lawson Harbour Day 161
What a hot, sweltering day to be on land! Ugh. We ran around and did necessary chores until I was drenched in sweat and ready to hit the water again. I rode our shopping cart down a long hill and all the way to the boat, Picking up speed I pulled into the main traffic lane and enjoyed the breeze. Traffic began to yield for me as the cart achieved “terminal velocity”. Several kids whose strength I underestimated helped me to lower the cart the final step to the dock, and I unloaded our precious cargo of perishable foods into the cool lockers of the boat before the sun had a chance to get to them. We had a good little sail down Chatham Strait, to Lawson Harbor. A strong outflow wind blew down off the Fraser River delta, making our anchorage a bit windy, but nice and cool.
