Friday Harbor

As we left Stuart Island we started to make plans to head to Friday Harbor, get a shower, a couple of breakaway pins, and probably a new VHF. The VHF we have, the only thing we have ever heard was static, not squelch, static. As we passed Johns island, we started to see the porpoises again. It's so cool to see them in the wild. We spent the next couple of nights in slip #H35. We had soo much fun wandering around and watching people. The couple in the boat next to us, were from Montana. They absolutely fell in love with Simplicity. And when we decide to sell her they want first dibs. They have a 23 footer right now. And didn't realize they made bigger trailerables. The Captain was telling them of all the work he has done. It was kinda funny, cause they launched at Washington Park too. Friday Harbor had so many cool little shops. Too bad we don't have tons of money to spend. We chatted about where we wanted to head next, and we decided to head for Deer Harbor, which is on the SW corner on Orcas Island. Bot what a great sail, hahaha, the water was like glass, and again, not a stitch of wind. We weren't the only sailboat motoring on the water. I guess that's why we have an iron genoa, haha.  bunkmate
