This morning we’re underway at 0530 hrs, headed for Hartley Bay, where we’ll top off our fuel and water tanks again.  Our tanks aren’t down much, but it’s our last chance to pick up water and fuel for the next month. 

We had an easy trip, with flat water and clear skies all the way to Hartley Bay.  Al was hating paying the high price for diesel ($5.28/gallon).  Luckily, we only took on 44 gallons.

With our tanks topped off, we headed to Lowe Inet, up Grenville Channel.  The wind had come up a bit, making the seas a bit lumpy.  Thankfully, we didn’t have too far to go.  The “Volendam”, a Holland America cruise ship, was headed up Grenville also, on their way to Alaska.

There was just one sailboat anchored in front of Verney Falls, in Lowe Inlet, which was a nice surprise.  This place is very popular, because of the falls, and is usually very busy.
