Before dawn, Eileen and Bill went fishing. They traveled relatively far by dinghy and by 7:30 a.m., Eileen had caught a 28 pound Spring salmon! Rob and I went out to drop a crab trap and explored some inlets, hoping to see bears on the shoreline. No bears today and so we headed home at noon, just as a tired but happy Eileen and Bill were pulling in.

Groceries are getting sparse again but tonight, with frozen brussel sprouts, paneer (brought from Vancouver), cashews and also from the freezer, a piece of Ling Cod and Roti bread, I made an acceptable curry and basmati rice. Bill and Eileen joined us for dinner and the curry was the high point; appetizers were cherry tomatoes and potato chips and for dessert, instant butterscotch pudding. It’s been almost a month since we shopped at a fully stocked grocery store and our meals are becoming a bit of a hodge podge as we combine the odd combination of our remaining supplies with the available groceries. No matter how sparse the grocery selection, however, a good liquor stock and selection is always on offer. We’ll stay one more night at the dock and then move on, taking another step closer to home.
