We left our beautiful anchorage at Cabbage and Tumbo Islands yesterday morning (after a very rolly, sleepless night…oh well, we can sleep later) and headed for Anacortes. It was foggy a lot of the time, but on and off. Here’s Orcas Island sticking up out of the fog bank, during…

After dinner we had them over for some brownies and wine (and stories, and laughing, and planning the next anchorages….) This morning after breakfast, Kevin took the…

We’d heard and read about the Octopus Islands (and how great they are) but we hadn’t been there, so we put a quick stop to that on our way south! It rained all night at Shoal Bay. We left the dock with cappuccinos in hand at 9am. Today was Okisollo…
