A short paddle today, just about six nautical miles. Made it to Shearwater for our resupply well before Noon and were able to book a room at the lodge. They also offered camping for free but it was cold and rainy at the moment and we decided it would be worth a chance to dry out. Of course, the rain stopped and the sun came out as soon as we were settled in!
Shearwater is a funny place that seems to be effectively a company town for the fishing lodge which has grown into something more comprehensive. Pretty good restaurant, utilitarian but comfortable rooms, a sizeable boatyard, well stocked marine store, grocery store, post office, coffee shop, and probably a few things I'm forgetting. It works! A very comfortable and efficient stop for me and Carl.
We moored our kayaks in the marina, and were able to pick up our food package and do our grocery shopping. They mostly had what we wanted, though the selection was limited and everything was very expensive.
