Penticton to Prince Rupert by motorcycle and then on the ferry and enjoy the boat ride through the Inside Passage from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy on the Vancouver Island. That alone was a 16hrs ride on dead calm waters with humpback whales, killer whales and dolphins riding alongside. The weather was misty with no wind and sometime trees just a few hundred feet away on each side of the boat ...unreal!!
Incredible scenery.. another ferry from Port Hardy to the sunshine coast... via Comox. More ferry passages to Vancouver and back to Kaleden. Took some pictures but they cannot impart the sense of grandeur the ferry ride gives. I cannot download pictures from the phone for some reason. I will try later.
An unusual sight happened in Prince Rupert which is as far as you can get on northern BC without feeling lost. As I was riding in town I found a R3 Touring parked near the hotel ... could not believe my eyes. Had to take a picture. Tried to find the owner, no luck.
All in all 2800kms on the roadster only one rain shower incredible sights and all that in 8 days. Back home now I will try to post some pictures if I can download them..as some captains asked to see what northern BC looks like. BTW on the road from Terrace to Prince Rupert (90 miles) we rode past two glaciers coming down right to the sea ...again unreal.. only one pic came out ...the crow and the eaglet!!
