Helen was feeling lousy but hey virus had broken and she was on the way to recovery. Bed rest was the best medicine so we delayed disembarking for a couple of hours.
At around 11.30 we wandered around town for 2 hours. Visited the infamous Creek Street ( brothel area for the loggers and salmon fishermen that closed in the 1970's) .
We saw salmon swimming up the creek to spawn, totem poles throughout town acknowledging the cultural beginnings of the town and 8,000 visitors off 4 cruise ships docked in the port. The region is stunning, we both agreed it would be a wonderful place come and stay a week to explore properly. Helen wanted to go lie down so it was back to the boat for a rest. I went back into town after tucking her in and sat in the Arctic Bar, sipping a beer, listening to Garth Brooks and watching the world go by.
Back on board by 5.30 and we slipped out of the harbour to begin our journey back to Vancouver.
