We slept in until about 08:30, then got up to face the day. Terri tidied up the boat some more and I did a few boat chores until about 11:30, when we all trekked back to Java the Hut for lunch. On the way up the dock, Sue, who runs the store and owns (with her husband) the fishing boat “Northern “, gave us each a nice big slab of salmon, which was very nice. At Java the Hut, we lingered to download all our emails, etc. Back at the boats, we rowed over to Houtipsat (the First Nations village on the opposite side of the bay) and bought a few non-essential groceries from Tracey’s store, then rowed back to the government dock. Then, we topped up with fresh water (again) and then awaited the arrival of the float plane, with Matt and Julia and Lucy, which landed about 17:30. After unloading all their gear and getting it aboard our two boats, we got away from the dock at 18:10 and motored over to Barter Cove, where we anchored at 19:00 in 7.6 m of water. Happy hour and dinner preparations commenced immediately Massilia arrived and rafted up beside us. Early night for all after a late supper.
