premise: As I had anticipated , the wheater had been much too good in Prince Rupert . When I got to Port Hardy , after 15 hours on the boat , it rained . The trip itself led through deep fjords and there was hardly any human population along the coast ! Just two lighthouses , two settlements - one called Bella Bella , the other Namu , and one left cannery . Why was the writer on a boat for 15 hours ?
hypothesis: Because they were on a trip .
