There are two places to resupply on Prince of Wales Island, Craig and Thorne Bay. There is no good way to get fuel. Best fuel points are the airport dock in Ketchikan and Delta Western fuel  in Wrangell. Over the years Delta has always been about a dollar cheaper a gallon. Craig has a hardware store, several restaurants, a good size grocery and sleeping options. The last time I was in Thorne Bay they had a bar with food and a grocery store. Thorne bay has an excellent float plane dock which is well protected, Graig  has a good dock for most conditions.
