We had talked about getting off the island for some riding, but I am waiting to hear from a mechanic for one of our boats. It is another day off, but "on call." We did our riding locally, and went out to get some scooter tag photos.
Another sunny day. I don't take this for granted. Good day for some scooter time. The current "tag" is: your scoot by a boat dock. Yeah, pretty good chance we'll be able to find that here (The last one was: your scoot with a federal highway sign... that, we don't have. Not even a state highway on this island.).
First stop, Jackson Beach, and the old cannery docks...
One of the yacht club satellite docks...
Jensen Marina...
The fuel dock at Friday Harbor...
The commercial docks...
That little yellow building in our Friday Harbor office/kiosk. Before the building burned down, we had a large office that overlooked the marina. It has been two years now; the Port is supposed to be selecting a bid for the construction of a new building (restaurant and 6 offices/retail spaces) this week, with construction to start in July. Could be interesting.
Some riding photos - heading into town from our "country manor"...
The view of the water as we come down the hill...
Taking "the scenic route" into town, brings you along the water, with a narrow one-lane road...
More from the scoot...
We hit up both grocery stores (they are owned by the same people, but carry different items), had a late lunch out, and sat on a bench on the street corner to call our kid... much better phone reception in town than out where we live. We did order a 4G booster; should be here in a couple days.
Oh, and the new tag:
Your scooter by a sculpture or artwork that has local significance. The one above is a whale tail. (Thought it might need explanation, since that is the best angle I could get without being a traffic hazzard.)
