Friday, White Sound, 1/18/13 We follow Lois and John to Settlement Creek and Little Plymouth in our dinghy to check in and get a cruising permit. Ken and John filled out the papers and paid the $150 and $300 fees ($150 for boats under 35’, $300 for boats over 35’, and this includes a fishing license) while Lois and I went across the street to The Environment House to hear some local history. Later we meet at The Bluff House for lunch and to get the scoop on their docking special: 90c per foot without food, or $1.50/ft and one can eat the docking fee, plus 100 gallons of free water. A few boats were taking advantage of it but we decided to stay in the anchorage. Stopping to chat with Orland and Carol on ‘Carolina’, we all agree to meet for happy hour later and all but Carol and I have the Tranquil Turtles, 2 for 1, a rum punch with 7 (yes, 7) different kinds of rum!
