Rain...

We had some spotty rain the past few days.  Looks like it is going to be some fine weather for our last weekend here on the job.

I had the chance to get the GoPro out in between the showers:

Some views around the marina...




Above the marina, there is another set of stairs...


Follow those up, go another block, and you wind up at our favorite little hamburger place, Vic's.  Joan said she may take me there for supper tonight!

Here's a look at the front of the boat that was the IBOTD a couple days ago (with the dinghy)...


Another boat that caught my eye (a Sundowner 32 Tug)...


Pretty lines on that boat, too.  It's for sale. 

Walking by the burned out building...



There was another meeting of the Port Commission yesterday - they are now committing to getting the building rebuild as soon as possible and getting the current lease holders back in.  No estimate of the time it will take, but some are saying it could be up to 24 months.  Some of those folks came by our tents on the waterfront when the meeting was over.

While walking the docks, I also came across Willie's Tug (our friends Herb and Wilma).  A short time later, I visited with Wilma, then later Herb.  They are on their way to Victoria and pulled in here for a night or two.  Spend some time in the San Juans, and you will likely wind up in Friday Harbor as some point - it's the commercial hub of the San Juans.

A couple misty morning images today...



Joan took this of Izzy and me, getting in a few more zzzzzz's...

Do you know what caused the fire??

Haven't heard anything official, yet. The fire started in the restaurant. Most folks assume it was an electrical fire (wiring or equipment left turned on), but I assume the public will be told if/when a cause is determined.
