It's too wet to start the loading process, so we're busying ourselves with piling stuff up inside. Little Izzy isn't sure about all this activity...
That's her worried look... made even more so by the wide angle lens. ;-) She knows something is up.
We drove over to the island for lunch. Drove, not rode... as much as I enjoy the scooters, the drizzle would be miserable to drive in. Heck, we got wet just going from the house to the truck. The Causeway here runs 2 1/2 miles across the Laguna Madre - you couldn't see either shore from the middle of the Causeway. The temp is decent: 69º and no wind (probably why there's fog).
Not complaining, because we need the moisture - I was counting on dry to get the truck loading started, though. Weather permitting, we'll make up for it the next few days.
Some bright news on this gray day: we heard from the nice lady at Friday Harbor who handles the slip assignments... this slip we had last year got rented before we could get it this season... until this morning, when those folks wanted to move to a different slip. Yep, we'll have the same slip as last year. While the slips are all pretty much the same, we like our neighbors there, AND we know we can get a clear shot at satellite TV reception. ;-)
We are pumped!

It was great to see you guys last summer in Friday Harbor. See you are heading back up there. I am jealous. We decided to head back to the midwest this summer to camp and visit family. Personally, I would rather be boating in the PNW. Hopefully, next summer. Have a great work summer! Cindi Rendel
Hi Cindi,
Yep, we're looking forward to another summer in Friday Harbor... there are whales that need to be watched! ;-) Camping your way through the summer sounds like a good time, too. Have fun.
Do you know yet whether you'll be running out of Friday Harbor or Roche? We'll be up there end of July with (hopefully) a group of 4-6 trailer sailors and I want to book a trip with you.
Hi Chris; it would be a treat to see some TSBB friends! I wish I could answer that with something specific. The new owner has asked if I would work between the two locations, and until we are into the season, none of us know how that is going to work out. The supposition is that I will be mostly in Friday Harbor in late July. Drop me a note as your plans firm up.
