Good Morning Steve O, I posted up a proposed itinerary for NAFO / CFR 2012 last month and after looking at it for a month I still feel it is a pretty good routing. From NAFO to Prince Rupert we can modify the trip anyway we want, we may get advice from the Canuckistani Bogstompers that will help with this routing.
The only date set in cement is the date we must sail from Prince Rupert to Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, that cannot change. However, we will not know that exact date until BC Ferries posts up their Sailing Schedule after the first of the year. Once we know what specific day the ferry sails South, let's book immediately. I am going to pay extra for a cabin for Seth and I, it is a 14 hour sailing and if we want to nap we will have bunks.
The only hotels we must book ahead of time are 1) Prince Rupert. 2) Port Hardy. 3) Victoria on Vancouver Island. We will want hotels as close to the ferry docks as possible for those three nights. Naturally, we will be staying wherever the Frostbacks tell us for Castlegar.
NOTE: SacramentoMike had recommended Jessie's Place Bed and Breakfast and it looks good to Chuy - Phone: 1 250 949-8953 Address: 5710 Hardy Bay Rd. | Port Hardy, BC | V0N 2P0
In regards to starting the trip early: The Stanley Boys are up for that! BUT LET'S NOT MEET IN ARIZONA, IT WILL BE 100F! Let's plan on meeting on Sunday, June 17 in Cedar City, Utah; this will give us two extra days for sightseeing on our way to NAFO / CFR.
Very best regards,
Don and Seth Stanley
