Mile 873: Little Current

We left Kagawong first thing this morning to head for Little Current.  Unlike yesterday, the wind went from 2-3 knots to zero.  It was like glass for most of the trip.

We pulled into Spider Bay Marine, but after we wandered through the town we realize that being downtown at the city docks, while less private, might have been more central.  The marine here is nice and clean, but just a little out of the way.

Once tied up, we located the showers, got cleaned up, ate some lunch and headed to a walk through town with a small list of supplies to get.

We stopped in at a small gift/art shop and picked up a few books, and looked at some nice art, and native crafts.

As we were walking along the city dock, I spotted a tall mast with a KYC burgee!  ... First Light!  ... we left a note for Richard and June after knocking and not getting an answer (except for their guard dog!).  We ended up bumping into them further in town (at the car show).  Nice to catch up, and get some good tips on where to go and what to see.

Linda went one way, and I went the other.  My trip included a beer top up, and 2 GFCIs (apparently 2 of mine are permanently interrupted).

Back at the boat, we had a slow afternoon hiding from the sun under the tarp.  I eventually did some wiring repairs, and working on some loose things here and there around the boat.

We had heard the Playfair and Pathfinder on the VHF the day before, and this afternoon they both passed by our slip at Little Current.

Finally a fuel up and pump out so we can leave first thing in the morning.  Weather permitting, we're off to Baie Finn.
