Thanks for the info Tony, I appreciate it a lot and that'll be a great help in terms of food planning. As for contingencies If we needed to due to weather we could cut to Haines and catch the ferry to Juneau and then to Prince Rupert. That would bump us considerably south to hopefully warmer temps. I have looked at the Prince Rupert To Port Hardy route, that would take about 200 miles off the route and is something we would consider if we were running late or just decided that it would serve our purposes better. At this time though we are still planning on heading through Prince George, in part because the ferry to Port Hardy only leaves on fridays so that could be a limiting factor.
