Kitimat

Yesterday Gail took us on a tour of Kitimat including a fish hatchery.  The fish hatchery was very interesting, Gail was friends of the fellow that gave us the tour, he was very knowledgeable.  They release over 5 million salmon each year including chum salmon, steelhead, and coho.  Today we went to Prince Rupert.  It was about a 2 1/2 hour drive from Kitimat.  It's a port right on the coast. We had lunch overlooking the marina, then went for a walk on the dock.  We spotted several Eagles and a couple of Ospreys circling overhead. We think they were looking at Patches, when Lesley picked up Patches they went away, as soon as she put Patches back down they came back. It was an awesome sight watching all of them.
