We cruised over to Roche Harbor on San Juan Island yesterday (from Fox Cove on Sucia Island) — about 20 nautical miles. We needed a couple things at the store and figured we'd skip a night of cooking and have dinner at McMillen's.
We were at Roche Harbor with our friends Jake & Patti on New Year's Eve last year. It's always decorated so festively for the holidays:
We ate in the bistro/bar (the little rounded room on the right) and had a few small plates (oysters, wild mushrooms in butter and garlic, a caesar salad, and then shared the lobster risotto with a side of green beans). It was all delicious.
It's still quite cold up here, and a few clouds have moved in, but it's such a lovely time of year to be cruising the islands.
Here's yesterday's map:
As a solo woman RVer, I absolutely adore this line,”So, if you’re an aspiring badass woman boater (also known as “a boater”) Thanks for that!
Thanks Suzanne! 🙂
So agree! I’m the driver of our fiberglass trailer and my husband is the passenger. So that makes me the driver! though I do like the badass adjective!
So sorry about Kevin’s wrist. Hang in there!
Very cool, makes me wish I were a lady so I could attend 😉
I’m sure it will be awesome!
An interesting exercise……You ‘drive’ your boat, I would ‘pilot’ your boat. That’s because it is a power boat. I would paddle a canoe, row a boat, or sail a boat. But I would ‘drive’ a team of horses, a car, and my Airstream’s pickup. Of course I pull the trailer.
Okay then! I’ll start using ‘pilot the boat’ — ‘drive’ does sound a little wrong, doesn’t it? I do think “tow the trailer” includes both driving the pickup AND pulling the trailer though, and is more accurate when I’m making fun of women who let the man do all the work. 🙂
Interestingly, I am also a pilot, but I ‘fly’ the airplane. What’s up with that?
