Fill Her Up!
21 June 2019 | Port Hardy
James & Roni Redman
We are in Port Hardy to re-stock the boat before heading up to the Central B.C. Coast. That means taking on fuel, water, propane, a new Hand Held VHF ( 2 old ones on boat, unlike us, decided it was time for them to quit cruising) and fresh vegetables from the Save On Grocery store a short walk up from the T Dock, just past the bear proof trash receptacles. A photo of a bear examining the receptacle in the middle of "downtown" appeared in the local paper the night before our arrival.
Other than navigating around bears the only other cautionary advice we have for fellow cruisers is, make sure it is high tide when you try to wheel that dock cart down the ramp to your boat!
