This morning we’re headed to Klemtu for re-provisioning. The ferry delivered fresh groceries to the Klemtu Band Store yesterday. By the time they open the store at 0930 hrs this morning they should have everything restocked. We want to be there when the store opens so that we can get what we need before they run out again. We’ve been out of fresh fruit and veggies for a few days now, and we need to top off our water tanks.
We arrived at Klemtu at 0900 hrs. Al got our propane tanks refilled while I refilled the water tanks and then headed for the store. They were still restocking shelves, but I was able to get apples, grapes, cherries ($12/lb.!), cabbage, carrots, onions, garlic, broccoli, and cauliflower. For some reason they never stock zucchini. Al paid for a $100 credit for next year so that we can call ahead and order whatever we want and they’ll make sure they have it when we get here. We’re hoping that will work out well for us. We’ll see.
As soon as we put all our groceries away, we headed for Boat Inlet, in Reid Passage. We arrived early enough for me to get a paddle in.
I found some Hooded Mergansers hiding in a shady cove. They were very camera shy, so it took me forever to get these shots.
In another little cove, I came across a couple of Sandhill Cranes rummaging through the seaweed, looking for goodies. They saw me, but there must have been some good stuff in that seaweed, because they kept rummaging for quite awhile before they sauntered off into the tall grass.
