Thursday -- today we left our protected anchorage and headed toward Little Current. We tied to the wall (Government Dock) around 11:00. The Government Dock wall spans the whole downtown area and makes it nice to walk to the restaurants and shops. We walked up the hill to some of the grocery stores and re-supplied the provisions for the next week or so out of port.

On the way to have pizza in the evening, a customs agent stopped by the boat to see if we had checked into Canada -- it was the same agent that searched the boat in Meldrum. She stayed and talked with us for about an hour sharing stories of things/people that she has found through her 22 years of service. She stated that they are really only concerned with finding drugs and guns. She said that last year a gentleman in Meldrum Bay did not declare that he had multiple guns on the boat (even though they gave him multiple chances to declare) and he was taken off to jail for the weekend. She ended up giving us a ride up to the pizza place.

Multiple storms came through during the day - nothing major.

Internet Update: We paid $22 for a week of high-speed wireless Internet through a local company MSD. Works right at the dock and will allow me to process month-end for one of my IT clients. Verizon cell phone service works from the dock with Booster/Antenna.
