We’ve been piling up lots of adventures and therefore a bunch of animated gif action.
And with everything going on it’s been tough to update here. More like, I’ve not been to motivated to post. Cause we’re having too much fun.
But I’ve got a bit of time, as we’re winding down for the night watching National Lampoon’s Family Vacation.
As far as this update is concerned we’re in Rocky Bay on San Juan Island. (In reality we’re in Port Townsend, but I haven’t taken the pics and videos off of my camera yet.)
So here’s a map of where we are, and where we were since last time.
This is going to be another 4 part update as the animated gifs take awhile to load on each page and breaking them up helps things go quicker.
So let’s get started.
Ah yes, we were still in Deer Harbor, being lazy, eating microwaved burritos on the dock and ice cream.
We didn’t want to leave Deer Harbor, it was pretty incredible. Not much to do there in theory, just a dock, a little store, a pool, and a limo ride to a restaurant.
But the docks were super nice, roomy, easy to actually dock the boat, the people were super nice. Everyone at the store knew Jackson by name, and were friendly and warm. It was good stuff.
And after an incredible sunset…
We left on the 3rd of July, whereas Deer Harbor has a 3rd of July celebration instead of a 4th of July celebration. Too bad we didn’t know that in advance, cause we had reservations at Friday Harbor on the 3rd and 4th of July, so we had to go.
On our way out we stopped by the gas dock to refuel and pump out. Lindsey did some gas dock yoga with Jackson.
And we saw a cool really small steam boat.
And right outside the marina we saw a float plane come in. (Jackson is a huge fan of planes.)
And then it flew off later.
We decided to go the scenic route, and saw some more great views of Mt. Baker.
And you’ve gotta be careful about gawking at the scenery because you never know when an unexpected log will show up right in your path.
And once we were out in the channel we could see Deer Harbor back behind us through the islands.
Next we put up the sails and headed towards Friday Harbor.
