Listening to the weather report this morning, it became apparent that, unless we want to get stuck in Port McNeill for 4 or 5 days, we’re going to have to leave at first light tomorrow morning.

We headed for the fuel dock as soon as it was open at 0800 hrs. Steve Jackman, the fuel dock and marina manager (owner’s young son), pitched us on the fuel dock’s new marina. He claimed that they have the best WiFi in Port McNeill, they have 2 courtesy cars, and they’ll fuel your boat for you right at your slip! Though a bit more expensive than the municipal marina, the superior WiFi sold me.

While I did laundry, Al started on the grocery shopping. By 1500 hrs, we had all the laundry and grocery shopping done, so I started working on my blog. Unfortunately, the “superior WiFi” wasn’t all that superior. I worked at it until 1:00 in the morning, before resigning myself to the fact that I’d just have to try again in Ocean Falls. Very disappointing to say the least.
