June 27, 2018, Wednesday —Rescue Cove to Klemtu, to Wallace Bight Lagoon, Roderick Island

We’re getting pretty low on fresh produce, so this morning we’re headed to Wallace Bight, by way of Klemtu.  Klemtu receives fresh produce from the ferry every 2 weeks.  Their last delivery was 3 days ago.  The probability of them having much left by now is pretty slim, but we’ve got to give it a shot.

Naturally, a spring tide is running today, so getting up to the fuel dock at Klemtu was challenging.  But, by using the thrusters, and with the help of a guy on the dock, we managed to get in without any mishaps.

We took on fuel, propane and water, and Alan, the fellow who runs the fuel dock, was nice enough to take our trash.  Al tipped him ten bucks, and everyone was happy.

Amazingly, there was still quite a bit of produce left in the store.  I even managed to pick up a pineapple, grapes, some nice plums and apples, and a tired looking mango.  They apparently don’t carry zucchinis for whatever reason, but they had cauliflower, broccoli and cabbage.  Not bad.  While under way for Wallace Bight, I treated all the veggies with a bleach solution and got everything stowed.
