[PUP] Idlewild 07/28/06: Prince Rupert, more than Nome, or Japan

[PUP]

Date/time:                       July 28, 2006, 12:00 local (z-8)
                                 Moved from Alaska to BC time.
Position at Prince Rupert        54D19.538'N 130D18.340'W
Sea state:                       3'
Wx:                              Wind W 0 to 15kts, partly cloudy
Remarks:
Arrived at Prince Rupert and settled in at Rushbrook Public Floats.  Met an
old Duchess, Alberta friend, Jim Jones and his wife Sharron, and a bunch of
new friends.  It is a nice place, but the sales taxes grab you as does the
fuel price which is more than Nome Alaska or Japan.
