Were off on our vacation, heading north on the boat. We left yesterday about 2, or at least I did and motored over to Bell Harbor. Solo trip was uneventful with a short stop to do some fishing, no catching off Alki Point.
Got into Bell Harbor and Andy and MaryAnn McDonnell were there from the club so they helped me dock and then we visited for a while waiting for Chris and the girls to show up at Anthony's. They were driving up for a play at the 5th avenue and I joined them for dinner. they went off to the play and I went back and finished some FEMA work from the trip to Phoenix earlier in the week. Yes I was in Phoenix, 100 plus degrees down there and it was just too darned hot. Everyone agreed, no one was on the streets choosing to stay indoors in air conditioned rooms.
We got a lazy start this morning after visiting Pat and Jeanne Maroney who cruised in last evening. Pat looks great after his medical battles. They are headed up to the San Juans for just a few days with the Desmoines Yacht Club.
A large four masted square rig schooner out of Russia was moored at Bell Harbor and it was a pretty impressive sight.
The runup today was fairly easy with clear skys but alas their is no warmth in the sun up here. It was nice but relatively coo. Not sure where the predicted 80 degrees was but it appears the weather forecasts were wrong again.
We ended up at Port Ludlow in one of our most favorite spots to anchor behind twin islands. It is very quiet and serene and we are sharing it with three other boats tonight. the Marina is empty. Sad state of affairs for the boating industry and the economy. We saw a lot of boats out today but everywhere we go people comment that their is no one in the marinas. Andy said that Roche was empty, they just came back from up there and he said they hardly saw another boat all the way home.
tomorrw were probably just going to Port Townsend and call it good there.
