Hello from Telegraph Harbor. Our plan was to go into Pirate's Cove, but we got anxious about the amount of water, and it looked full as we went by. We are at the dock in Telegraph after a great day yesterday, Saturday. We sailed from Silva Bay on Saturday and even got the sails up for a while. It wasn't a long sail, but a fun one with the sun shining and the real essence of what we want to do. Jim is always frustrated because we don't get to sail as often as we would like because the winds are always in the wrong way or the winds are too stong or something else is in the way. This year the wind and seas combined have made it impossible, and I get the lumpies from the rolling around. Anyway, we got in here with only 6 inches to spare because of a low-low tide. I think we might have been at the minimum for us. We had planned to leave today, but we found out the wind was kicking up a whole bunch so we stayed in. After our discussion about that situation, we completely revamped the schedule. Tomorrow we plan to get an early start and go down the west side, skipping Bedwell. We will have a stop in Fulford Harbor and then maybe go into Roche to sign in and then to stay the night at Garrison. We think we can make a 10AM trip through Deception Pass on Saturday June 19th.
Jenny V surprised us in Telegraph Harbor. They had planned to go to Ladysmith today to meet us, but yesterday we came in here and they came in right after us. We are having a birthday party potluck this evening for Ann and Carlos tonight. Her birthday is today and Carlos is later in the month. We don't know what Michele will bring but the rest of us are used to this and it'll be good. More later, Jim and Virginia
