0900 position 48-36N 123-08W. At anchor in Westcott Bay
The pace slowed down a bit after yesterday's harbor cruise. It had been raining since just after sunset the day before, but things started drying out about noon, and by 2PM, wedding time, it had turned into a beautiful day. Good thing, it was an outdoor wedding with no Plan B. Nothing beats a little bit of good luck.
Matt returned from his shopping expedition and we headed for San Juan Island, dropping the hook in Westcott Bay at 2PM. We both took a nap as a part of our recovery plan from the night before. By 5PM the geriatrics of Team Thankful were raring to go and dinghied ashore where we met Tom Nolan.
Tom and his wife Deb are college pals of Matt's who live on San Juan Island. Tom is a contractor who builds high end homes here on the island and Deb is a caterer. Their own home is a beautiful example of Tom's work, mostly made of old growth wood, a lot of which was salvaged. Deb cooked us a fabulous meal, and there were a lot of laughs as the three of them caught up.
This morning Tom is taking us up to see his current project, a new home on the highest point of the island. They have just finished the concrete and steel work and are getting ready to start framing. The project includes a cantilevered infinity pool hanging out over a cliff - it's that kind of house. This should be fun.
