Decent Docks Connection Storylet Grind

For almost any faction there seem to be ample storylets you can grind. Except for The Docks, it seems. After sifting through the Wiki, there is a window of opportunity in Wolfstack Docks when engaged in the black ribbon matches and going for Take a Break from Duelling - Boast which nets you a whole 5cp per turn...yay. And that's IF you have the patience of swapping gear the whole time because the Storylet is designed to be a "modest" challenge at best so don;t think you can straightforward tank your way through that.
It seems the only halfway decent place in the entire game is at Mutton Island (which currently is a non-option) which can net you 150CP but only until level 30 so that's like...what...3 runs maximum? Off the top of my head, last time I tried that storylet during Fruits of the Zee festival it takes quite some turns also so I'm not sure if it's even that efficient turn/cp wise. Well, comparing with usual 30cp+/turn you can get from most other factions.
The question is, is this a totally ambiguous omission or some kind of intended obstacle? I was planning to farm Expedition Supplies on Docks connection until I found out that Docks Connection it's practically un-grindable. Unless I am missing some glaring opportunity somewhere. If so please enlighten a poor confused soul.

My solution was using the Carnival to get Docks up to 10, then using the Engraved Pewter Tankard to get it from 10 to ~20 before cashing it in toward supplies. Rinse and repeat. If you later decide you don't want to farm for supplies, you can get back 40 of the 50e the tankard costs by selling it at the Bazaar.
Or what Mordaine said whilst typing faster than me.

Hey! That's excellent advice. I always thought that kind of things like Books and Pewters was a consumable -never imaged they could be re-used.
So, using above method with the Pewter, you can get 3 supplies i for every 4 turns and just rinse and repeat. If you have the Glim, but that is easy to come by at nearly every level. Well, and a bit of Rostygold of which I have a gazillion.
Thank you both!

Buy an Engraved Pewter Tankard from Nikolas Pawnbrokers. It can be used to raise the quality as long as you have at least 10 Connected: Docks and no more than 20. (At least without fate.)
Three actions and 150 Glim yield +75 CP.

I'm sorry, but due to policy clarifications, I will no longer be giving detailed mechanics advice on the forums.
