The seas are flat calm as we make our way to Ocean Falls early this morning.  We are surprised to see “Northern Sea Wolf” tied up to the new ferry dock, and a bit concerned about how the ferry will be able to maneuver its way off the dock without wiping out boats in the marina.  But, our fears are allayed, when the ferry toots its horn and proceeds to leave the dock, easily clearing the boats in the marina.

We launched the dinghy and Al set our crab trap.  We’re hoping to get our limit, but you never know.

The Old Bank Inn has a laundry service.  So, my first chore was to get my cart out and haul the laundry up to the Inn.  The Inn is now also selling ice cream in their “Little Licker Store”.  I sat down after my tough hike from the boat and enjoyed a delicious double maple walnut.  Yummy!   

Also new at the Old Bank Inn were eleven large barrels of roses on their patio that fronts the street, and a big hummingbird feeder.  There had to be twenty hummingbirds at the feeder, plus the hummers that were feeding on the roses.  I was wearing a red hat, which they kept checking out also.  

I left my laundry, which would be ready for me in a few hours, and went for a walk along the water.  The wharfinger told me he’d spotted a bear walking by his house this morning, so I decide not to go as far as Martin Valley, where the bear was spotted.

There are always lots of wildflowers here, and this year is no exception.

Sadly, the WiFi signal was so poor we couldn’t connect.
