Slept in. A lot. By the time we got going, B&S had finished their laundry and we all went up to "Chaos" again for coffee and baked goods. We took our laundry up with us and got it all started and hung out at the picnic benches while waiting. Laundry is not as big of a chore when you have coffee and baked goods to keep you pre-occupied.

We put laundry away and then went back up and got a souvenir (earrings for Jan) and these chicken roll ups for lunch. Back to EG for a team meeting to figure out the plan. Decided to cross Cape Caution on the upcoming calm day on Friday. Called Steve and made arrangements to stay in Port McNeill on Saturday. So we'll stay in Clam Bay on Friday night so it's not quite as long of a trip in 1 day. Had lunch, and then Sue and I took the "Sea Bus" over to Bella Bella to look around and go to the grocery store there. It doesn't take much to see the place, so we didn't need much time. I asked them about getting some fresh herbs, and they pointed me to the free community garden to pick whatever I needed. They didn't actually have what I needed of course, but the concept was interesting. Spent 2 minutes in the band store before heading back on the bus.

It was nice and warm today. The other kids wanted some ice cream so we headed back up to Chaos again for ice cream - half of us in the sun, and half in the shade. More general hanging around and did some boat cleaning. One of the NWE boats, Discovery, had come in the day before and also ended up talking to other folks on the dock. We ordered take out pizza for dinner on EG.
