Monday: Anacortes to Fossil Bay, Sucia Island

The nice weather seems to have no end in sight, a condition we are happy to be part of.
This morning was a time to tidy up the boat, offload garbage, fill the fuel tanks, and head over to Samish Island to pick up Allison and Warren.

It’s only about an hour away and we arrived before they did, so Kristine picked some blackberries while we waited for a bit until they showed up. They had been at a reunion of Warren’s shirttail relatives down on Hood Canal, and now were ready for more family on Allison’s side. We shuttled them and their gear from shore in several dinghy trips, and then pulled anchor and headed for Sucia Island, one of our favorites and one both Allison and Michael always liked when they traveled with us as kids.




After a barbeque dinner topped off with fresh blackberry cobbler, we pulled out the cribbage board to teach Warren how to play and watch Allison win, as is the custom. It was another calm night at anchor with a fiery sunset that turned the whole sky orange.
