This crow took advantage of the windy day in Anacortes today. As the neighboring boat’s anemometer spun around fast in the wind, the crow would lean in and let it scratch his neck and shoulder. I love the crafty crows! We are back on Airship now after a very nice holiday at…

We left Jones Island this morning and cruised back over to Friday Harbor for some grocery-getting and some lunch. Airship, middle of the below photo: The forecast for tomorrow looks a little rough, so we chose to head across to Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island and stay put until Tuesday.…

We’re back at Jones Island tonight (three Nordic Tugs!): Dan & Eileen on Fortunate (a 32′), and Sam, Anna, David, and Mark on Safe Harbour (Sam’s 37′). Airship, with rainbow: We are moored on the north side of Jones, since the wind today and tonight will be SE. This afternoon we…

We headed up to the Willows Inn on Lummi Island again this year for Kevin’s birthday. We mostly do experiences rather than gifts for birthdays these days and it’s quite nice because we both get to experience what we plan. Luckily, our tastes are very similar. The ferry ride over to…

We left Anacortes this morning around 9:30am or so…sleeping in meant we had about 2 kts of current against us as we made our way out of Guemes Channel. Oh well. It was so nice to be on the water and out of the marina that we didn’t much care…

We’ve just been hanging in Anacortes and working from Airship, since the weather’s been such crap this week. Looks like we’ll get a window tomorrow to head over to Friday Harbor for Thanksgiving, and then we should be able to get back in relatively settled seas on Saturday. I’ve been…
