The ferry with fresh produce arrives at Klemtu this morning.  Hoping to get there before everything’s gone, we’re underway early.  Luckily, the fog has burned off by the time we have our anchor up. 

The run to Klemtu was short and uneventful.  We topped off our fuel and water tanks, and then waited for the store to open. 

There were about 20 locals ahead of us when the doors finally opened.  The atmosphere was like a party, with everyone calling out to people they knew, while frantically searching out the items they wanted, hoping to get them before they were gone.  It was a real jolly crowd, and everything seemed to be cause for laughter.

The fresh cherries, blueberries, strawberries and milk were going fast, but I managed to grab beautiful plums, mangoes, pears, cherries, apples, pineapple, avocados, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, yams, and corn on the cob.  They didn’t have any almond milk, but I managed to pick up a couple of half gallons of 2% milk.  In fact, the only thing on our list that they didn’t have was zucchini.  Apparently, the locals aren’t into zucchini.

We didn’t waste any time getting underway again, heading back to Bottleneck for the night, so that we can get any early start for Khutze Inlet in the morning.
