Our plan was to leave in the morning and head to an anchorage at Bear Drop harbor. After Bear Drop we would head across the wide unprotected part of the North Channel to Drummond Island where we clear customs and enter the US again. The weather is predicted to get windy so it’s possible we may be stuck at Bear Drop for a few days. So off we walked to the grocery store to stock up, just in case.
Nothing to speak of for photos today but this blog needs a splash of color so here’s some flowers we saw on our walk.
Canada may have cheap prescription medications, but I think that’s the only thing that’s cheap. We shopped around the grocery store for the items on our list. Before we left the states we were advised to “provision, provision, provision”. Its not because there isn’t anyplace to shop….it’s the prices. Milk is over $6 a gallon. A dozen eggs are well over $3. A pound of butter is over $6. Chicken must be considered the filet mignon up here, as boneless, skinless chicken breasts are over $9 a pound! I picked up a package of 2 chicken breasts and the price was $12.93. I put them back. Looking at the prices, we decided to just go home.
So the plan is to leave at first light and travel 78 miles to the U. S. of A!!!! (and to cheap chicken)
