We are on a week long cruise, staying in Roche Hbr for two days and leaving for Echo Bay at noon today. We re cruising with Mike and Janice Connell on their Irish Ayes, a Catalina 27 and Alan Parks on his Tartan 30, Misty Isle. Mike is a great fisherman so we ate dungeness crab two nights in a row and last night we ate on the deck at the restaurant with a beautiful sunset and a full moon at night. Tomorrow we meet up with Anita and Ed Johnson on Jester for a few days on Orcas Island, at Rosario Resort.
The Desolation Sound cruise was a success but they did not go at far.They had bad seas so decided to visit the Gulf Islands so went to Ladysmith and Montague and Maple Bay before heading back via Roche and other US ports. They were gone about two weeks and loved the boy time. We will return home on Labor Day for a few weeks recoup before I set off for Ashland and plays with my friend Debbie Miller. Jim plans a trip to the Wooden Boat Festival in PT Townsend the week before I go so you can see we are busy, busy.
This year we will have lots of cruise time. We leave for 32 days in November and then Jim sets off for the Galapagos in February and then we go to Hawaii for a two week cruise in April. We will be sailing on Princess for the first time. Hope we like it.
Our friends Janet and Dee left for their five hundred mile walk across Spain and we got our first spot notification That was very exciting! Buen suerte, ladies!
