July 4 & 5, 2017 – Burdwood Group of Islands


Such a scenic place, we stay an extra night and will head off to the Halibut fishing grounds in the morning.  Gary and Wendy take a trip to Echo Bay and were promptly told that the fresh groceries in the store are for moorage customers only…..have those people lost their minds???  WTF – why would you have a store and not want to sell everything in it? Desperate way to try and get moorage customers in.  I have spent hundreds of dollars on groceries in preparation for my vacation but know that I will need produce and dairy along the way.  Dumb way to entice moorage customers, trying to get us to spend $1.35 ft. for a nights moorage so that I can have the pleasure of purchasing a lousy head of lettuce?  No thanks, will do without!

There are very few boats in Echo, we suspect that due to the July 4 holiday for the Americans, that all are up at Sullivan Bay for the fireworks.  Although it does make one wonder if others have been treated to the same verbal exchange on fresh produce/dairy and are also staying away.  I’m just stubborn enough to do without and drive 25 miles out of my way to find it elsewhere.
