Another warm day, but a little cooler and cloudier than yesterday.
Went over to the British Columbia Records and Archives Services to see what we could find out about Swanson Bay and Butedale. There had been a pulp mill at Swanson Bay. It had been built in 1918, changed hands several times in the 20's, started going out of business in the 30's, and shut down completely in the early 40's. Didn't find out much about Butedale, except than in addition to the cannery, there had been mining and logging activities there.
After lunch, we chugged 17 miles across the strait to Port Angeles. Couldn't have had a much nicer day for it.
As soon as Roy got Customs clearance (by phone), we walked over to Safeway and restocked our grocery supply. What a difference in the vegetables and the prices!
