Things go wrong on Saturday

After such a wonderful day yesterday today wasn't so good. This morning we discovered our fridge wasn't working properly and all our freezer stuff was thawing. We called the only number we could find for RV repairs. No answer on Saturday. A few minutes later a fellow called asking if we had called:) he said he would come down in 10 minutes. He did but he couldn't figure out what the problem was. He didn't charge us anything and referred us to Coastal Propane for dry ice and maybe some help. We went to Moby Dicks for breakfast and then to Coastal Propane. The fellow was a gas fitter but not licenced for RVs. He cleaned all the parts and figured we should be OK. Again no charge. A bad news issue with a good news solution. Our plan had originally been to go for a drive along the highway towards Terrace so we headed out that way. We went into Port Edward and walked the docks watching the fishermen organize and pack their nets.

Drove out to see the old cannery. They wanted $15 to walk through the buildings. We took a few pictures so I can paint the some of the buildings and headed back. The road was like moguls on the mountain. It was paved but in the fractured sunlight it was hard to see the dips that were really close together. We hit some with a surprise and shifted the camper to the point that the back tie downs popped off and we heard them dragging behind us. It was too hot to deal with along the road so we headed back to our Walmart camp licking our wounds. Only inside disaster was the breaking of our glass coffe pot.

Tomorrow is another day and hopefully our fridge will be working as we make our way across to Haida Gwaii.
