Fossil Bay CBGT 2018 *

Mid way between Cypress and Orcas on my way to Sucia for the last weekend in September

Between Cypress and Point Lawrence

Approaching Sucia

Pulled in to my favorite spot in Fossil bay, protected on the inside of Dock 1 from the prevailing winds that funnel through the bay at times.

Still plenty of room for a few more boats

Oh hey, a couple of others are already here! Harvey and Andy over on Dock 2.

Still room on Dock 2 as well. Struggling with a cold, I did not feel like moving the boat.

A relatively empty Fossil Bay. Last time I was here was Labor Day weekend, when it was much busier!

Spend much of the weekend sitting on this point, just trying to recover from my cold!

Enjoying clear blue skies in late September, while they last!

Up early the next morning, after turning in the night before at 6:30, exhausted from being sick.

Sunrise over at Dock 2. Big boat on end of dock is from San Francisco. Harvey knows more about their story.

Covered shelter in the group picnic / camping area

Back at the docks after the morning walk. Even more space now but still didn't feel like moving the boat.

Original dock in Fossil Bay. Many memories here!

Later in the day, setting out for another short walk, exploring the cliffs above the old sand stone quarry
