It's a happening place!

If you are going to boat cruise in the San Juan Islands, you are going to be in Friday Harbor at some time... it is the center of commerce (and the only incorporated town) for the county.  During the summer, there is always something going on here.  Today, the town and marina are packed.

Besides the usual Saturday Farmers Market, there is an Art & Crafts Fair (featuring booths and music) on the courthouse lawn.  Probably the biggest draw today is the Fly In at the Friday Harbor Airport.  There have been scads of planes flying in, a couple military jet fly-overs, war-birds flying in formation.  Joan had to work today, and I just didn't feel like walking all the way to the airport, so I watched a lot of it from the dock beside our boat.  I did walk up to the Farmers Market and then on to the Arts & Crafts Fair...

The day started overcast, not good for the Fly In.  But, by mid-morning, the sun started peeking out.  Before noon, there was an abundance of blue sky... nice that Mother Nature cooperated with all that is happening here.

Walking back from the courthouse, you get a nice overview of the marina...

The camera in my phone doesn't do it justice, doesn't show off that pretty blue sky.

The Blonde just called - she's going to be late getting off work.  They had to run north quite a ways to get to the whales and the boats will be late getting back.  She needs to cover while the crews drop people off at the seaplane dock and try for a quick turn-around.

My day has been very laid-back... besides wandering around town, I did my boat husband and cat Daddy chores at my leisure.  Yep, a good day. :-)
