No, I haven’t just discovered a cache of photos taken in February. This here is a lovely summer’s day on the Puget Sound.
Last weekend, Karen and I delivered Ulithi from Seattle to Anacortes, ready for Bill and Mary, and then Raleigh and pals to tour the San Juans. We had to get an early start (6.30am!) to catch the right current at the Clinton/Mukilteo crossing, so we slept on the boat at Shilshole Marina – the second weekend in a row within earshot of the traintracks…
We missed that ferry by miles, honest. The fog lifted by early afternoon and we had a good (if long) cruise up to Hope Island in Skagit Bay, where we got the last mooring buoy – phew! First things first – get in the dingy and explore!
It’s a nice island with dozens of little rocky coves and charming beaches. And a surprisingly lush, unspoiled interior..
In the evening, grilled salmon and mushrooms, a bottle of beer and Scrabble as the sun went down. Aaaah!
