Whoo-boy, it’s hot! We continue to be thankful for the nice weather, having experienced the opposite many times on the boat, but it has taken Allison and Warren a little by surprise. They’re used to the A/C of the Sacramento valley, not the heat wave of the Northwest.
Today was another pretty lazy day. We had a great breakfast, compliments of our new crew who had stopped in the Poulsbo bakery and Sakuma’s berry farm on their way north. We looked at the charts to plot a course and settled on Jones Island, a small state park that we haven’t been to in many years. Calvin found a place to relax and enjoy the cruise.

Jones Island is somewhat known for the resident deer population. Years ago, when it was still okay to feed them, they became very tame and would eat just about anything out of your hand. The Parks department tried to put an end to that practice, for the health of the deer, and the new generation is still visible but not quite as tame. Here’s one we saw a little off the beaten path:
The island is shaped a little like a figure “8” with small bays on the north and south sides and a short trail that connects them. It’s a very popular island for kayakers to stop and camp because the gravel beaches are easy to land on and there is plenty of room for camping.
We took the trail to the other side and back, but pretty much spent the rest of the day chatting and reading.
