Yeah, that was a bit wet day. We were probably at Kong Fu pizza or out for ice cream. Would have enjoyed meeting you guys as we've followed your blog for a number of years. Just might be back in Friday Harbor again on this trip, if so we'll look for you. Have a great day on the water.

Sitting on a mooring ball ät Clark Island. Beautiful flat sea's with a great view of Mt. Baker (at least we think it's Mt Baker). A bit of fog this morning to test our the radar and a bit of paddle boarding around the island. Another great day on the water.
The plan is to pull the boat in time so that we can spend 2 nights in Glacier National Park and do the Highline loop hike (12 miler) and an afternoon in Seattle.
Most likely Tuesday night or Wednesday morning. |

After a bit of a rolly night on the mooring ball at Clark Island we decided to cruise down the west side of San Juan Island. Made it to the lighthouse on Stuart Island and saw the Orcas coming our way. Spent the next number of hours floating around as the Orcas circled. Many breaches, full out of the water jumps, tail slaps, swimming on their backs, etc. It was crazy cool. Decided to head to Friday Harbor for a good run, shower, a great dinner at Golden Triangle, and another round of ice cream.
After the great day we decided we'll pull the boat tomorrow morning and put it back in storage. A bit nervous about pulling the boat out with the motorhome, but I really don't think it'll be a problem pulling it up the ramp. We launched at low tide and I tested pulling the boat up the ramp and all seemed good.
We'll then head out on the motorhome.
Great way to end the boating! |

Cruised from Friday Harbor to Blaine this morning - 25kts on COMPLETELY flat water. No boat traffic and no tide waves - completely flat the entire way. Backed the motorhome up, loaded the CD22, and without effort the motorhome (Winnebago View) pulled it out of the water - no issues.
Spent a few hours emptying our stuff back into the motorhome, put the Honda's on the muffs and ran fresh water through for about 45 minutes. Did all the "storage" items for the Honda's and the boat and drove it to storage. Now covered in storage waiting for our 2015 return with the initial plan of going to SE Alaska thru the inside passage.
Now headed to Port Orchard where we'll stay in the Walmart tonight and take the ferry into Seattle tomorrow. |
