Pouring rain last night. Still pouring for most of the morning. We stayed in the boat and did some trip planning and trying to figure out where and when to go next. Probably Meyers Chuck. We also exchanged some email with our friends Kim & Ken who live in Wrangell, and made arrangements to meet them Wednesday in a small cove near Wrangell.
Today was a dedicated chore day. Around 11:00 it had stopped raining, so we headed on up to Safeway to provision with more fruits and veggies now that we are across the border. Also picked up a few other supplies at Tongas Marine Hardware. Back to the boat to unload them and put them all away. It takes awhile on the boat as you have to find room for things and organize at the same time.
Then we packed up all the laundry and went up to the laundry mat. Excitement galore. During the dry cycle, Greg headed back to Safeway to get beer and ice. It started to pour again. Fortunately, we managed to make it back with all our stuff during a small lull / sprinkle. Put away the laundry. Some downtime and more chores. I got stuff ready for dinner and Greg did engine checks, filled the water tanks, and checked the water maker filters. Dinner. TV Show. Early to bed.
