1200 position 48-31N 122-55W. At anchor in Fisherman's Bay, Lopez Island
Thankful made a tour through the San Juans yesterday after departing Sucia Island, and ended up at Orcas Island. We tied to the public pier at Olga, a cute little town, and went ashore for a look around. There were only two commercial establishments in town, a store/gas station that was closed, and a cafe. we had a leisurely lunch at the cafe and then powered up into West Sound where we anchored for the night.
In Olga we saw an interesting looking boat (photo attached). The owner appears to be a conflicted one-time sailor that is headed towards the dark side of the force, kind of like me. I'm not sure his conversion is the right approach though. I wonder how Moku pe'a would look with a pilot house?
Vicky had some unexpected family medical issues she needed to attend to, so this morning we dropped her off at the village in West Sound where she caught a cab to the airport. After breakfast there, Matt and I powered the few miles to Fisherman's Bay on Lopez Island where we dropped the hook at 11AM.
There is lots going in in Lopez Island right now. Ian Andrewes, son of my high school classmate Beth, and sailing pal Tom Andrewes is getting married here tomorrow. My daughter, Kara, will be at the wedding and since Thankful is in the area we thought we'd meet up with her and her boyfriend Sean for dinner or drinks tonight. I am also hoping to be able to say hello to Beth and Tom sometime today. I understand they live pretty close to this harbor.
I just found out pals Marcy Fleming and Bo Wheeler will also be at the wedding and are catching the same ferry Kara and Sean are to Lopez Island this afternoon. There may be a party tonight....
