And we're off....


Tuesday June 23rd - After staying onboard overnight at the dock, we ticked off a few last minute things and we were off! Possibly the lowest tide of the year but we got through the bay without a problem. It was a sunny day and both Dad and I immediately started to feel great -- our colds and flu magically forgotten as we basked in the sun on the bow. We arrived at Langley on Whidbey Island in time for a nice stroll through the town. There are a suprising number of shops closed down -- must be the times. Our favorite grocery store was open though and we bought a feed of mussels to enjoy for our dinner. Mmmm they were great!

As the day came to a windy end, we re-anchored in a more favorable spot and listened to a few of the many CBC and NPR podcasts that we've downloaded to entertain us while afloat.
