OK, keeping the tradition alive, Daydream has been in the water every month since purchased new on Valentine's Day 2003. It was close for January, though.
January destination: a great little unnamed cove on the southeast side of Matia. We took off from Squalicum Harbor in Bellingham, David and his friend Mike joined us on Anna Leigh. No dock or mooring buoys at this cove, our purpose was to exercise our new Horizon 600 windlass.
Weather forecast was iffy, but weather Saturday was great - after getting the hook set, we rafted up and had lunch. After lunch (quesadillas made on a griddle that just fits the Wallas, thanks for this great idea, Bill and El!), I ferried everyone to shore in the dinghy. We had a great hike on the loop trail, there were a couple of larger boats over on the other side.
Back to the boats, sundowners in the cockpit, shrimp etouffee and ribs (!) for dinner, some good red wine - it doesn't get much better than this!
Sunday morning the forecast was calling for deteriorating conditions, so we scooted home fairly early, easy run back, Bellingham Bay was as flat as we have ever seen it - rain squall hit just as we were leaving the parking lot.
All in all, just another fabulous C-Dory weekend!
