Poets Cove Trip Day 3

It's not all about Bucky's San Diego style fish tacos but it is one of our favorite Lopez Island treats. This time, Bucky himself was behind the grill.

It was a bit shorter cruise from La Conner to Fisherman Bay, even with a stop for the train trestle bridge coming out of the Swinomish Channel. Although we did hang out in the outer harbor for a little while, with others, waiting for the tide to come in before entering the channel into Fisherman.

It was good to get into familiar territory as we picked up our usual ferry route through the San Juan Islands. I am still amazed at the low number of boaters out on a holiday weekend, in some of the best weather to be had.

Captain Nick said, "What's better than this...right now?"

Poets Cove Trip Day 14

Today, Wednesday, is day 14 and our final day of this cruise. We are just rounding Browns Point and the Foss is in sight. We've seen more wildlife the last couple of days than we saw further north, including this tiny seal pup floating on a log. (Taking photos with a phone from a moving boat is challenging.) It's back to work tomorrow (in fact, Nick has to drive to Cispus this afternoon!) but we will be back aboard the Pelican soon! Glorious.

Father's Day

We left the Foss yesterday, amidst the tall ships in Tacoma for Festival of Sail. Spent the night at anchor in Gig Harbor and then  met my dad and two of my sisters for a quick boat ride and lunch. Happy Father's Day!

Cruising With Friends

Image
It's a beautiful (early!) morning in Eagle Harbor. With temperatures approaching 100 expected, it will be a nice day to be on the water. We met some friends (Coorie Doon and Blue Max) in Poulsbo on Friday, then motored over to Bainbridge yesterday. After some very interesting anchoring situations, we tied up at balls for the night. Don't know who these buoys belong to...but thank you. Just before leaving home on Friday afternoon, we made the decision to buy the Ranger 29! So...not sure if this is our last trip aboard Pelican. Stay tuned!
