Last night’s storm had passed and it was a beautiful morning. We marveled at the good timing – it was much more pleasant to be inside at night during that storm than on the way somewhere having a terrible time. As the morning progressed, however, the fog started to build:

As I mentioned in a previous post, we don’t do fog, so we made some more coffee and pulled out our books and decided to wait it out. Today our destination was Anacortes, only a couple of hours away, so it was really no big deal – in fact, the currents would be more in our favor the longer we waited.
Anacortes is on the mainland and is the place that people go to catch the ferry for the San Juans or Sidney, BC. It has a huge marina and we don’t usually stop there, but we wanted to today because tomorrow we are planning on picking up Allison and her boyfriend Warren! They flew up from California last Wednesday and have been visiting with some of his family that lives in the NW, and now they are driving up to Samish Island where we will pick them up and take them with us for a few days. Warren’s never been in the islands, so we’re hoping it will be a treat for them both. Especially if this sunny weather holds.
The fog finally lifted about 12:30, after a few false hopes, and we cruised to Anacortes to wash the boat, buy some groceries and fuel, and mentally adjust to having two more people aboard.
