And that is because we found 2 liquor stores within walking distance from the ship. Entering Canada for the first time we were impressed with the seaside welcome including a real live Mountie. Boy is that red bright! The view of the pier was really about as good as it gets.
As a port city, it appears that Cow Bay, the official name of our landing spot, is past its prime. A short but hilly walk to the downtown area confirmed that. Many of the storefronts were empty or in an obvious state of decline.
After a walk up one side of the main street and down the other side we were ready for a return to the ship. Two quick stops…one for Coke…and one for Absolut and we were on our way.
From our balcony we have been treated most of the day to soaring Bald Eagles. A couple of them were so precocious as to pose on the roofs and posts in the port. Perhaps they make the pier their home as much of the year Cow Bay seems to be an active crabbing location.
A quiet afternoon ensued as we watched a movie and got caught up with the web. Did we mention we tapped into another free WiFi site at the port. Whooo hooo!

Sea day tomorrow before out last port of call…Victoria, BC. Not sure of connectivity or sobriety.
