Were back home in Washington!
We left Maple Bay on Sunday Morning in heavy rain and with strong winds forcaste. the winds never materialized and we had a flat sea all the way to Tod Inlet where we anchored for the night.
We decided to go tour Buchart Gardens late in the afternoon and evening since they are open till 11pm and the trails and gardens are all lit up and the rain eased up in the evening so we were able to spend about 3 hours wandering around the grounds and had a great time. It is the first time either of us have ever been there and it was well worth the time albeit a bit pricy to get in. The days of sneaking in the back way are gone with security fences and a credit card swipe at the gate and remote control cameras and speakers. You never have contact with an actual person but they get your money anyway before you get in.
We left Tod Inlet about 10 this morning in bright sun and perfect conditions and got to Roche and Customs about 1:30. customs was a breeze, about 15 minutes and we were through. the Roche Harbor Outstation was open so we slid in there for the night and will mosey south across the straits tomorrow, wind permitting.
Were winding down and getting close to the end of this amazing experience and have had virtually no problems throughout the trip that amounted to anything serious. count our blessings and keep our fingers crossed till were home and the trip is complete.
Not looking forward to going back to work but alas not much choice. Gotta pay for this little endeavor now and restock the bank account for the next time. Yes there will be a next time.
