The ferry delivered supplies to Shearwater yesterday, and by 1300 hrs, today, the shelves should be restocked at the grocery story. Al called Kevin, at Shearwater marina, to see if he had space for us at the dock. He thought he could fit us in, so we’re underway for Shearwater at 1100 hrs. It’s only a 30 minute run to Shearwater. Al called Kevin again to see where he wanted to put us. The only space he had available was at the very end of the long dock, with no electric power, no WiFi, and no water. But, for $77 a night, what can you expect?
We were at the grocery store at 1300 hrs, hoping to get everything we needed in the way of fresh produce. The only fruit they had was Gala apples, which is my least favorite apple, bananas, which were riper than I would like, and Okanagan cherries, which are delicious. They don’t have prices on anything, and everyone is grabbing everything off the shelf as fast as they can. When I got back to the boat and looked over my receipt, I found that I had paid $25 for 4 lbs. of cherries. I have to admit they were delicious, however. We should be at Klemtu in a couple of weeks. Hopefully, they’ll have a better selection of fruit.
