It is very rainy but the winds are less than 10 mph. We went for our farewell breakfast at Calico
Cupboard. We really like it there. The breakfasts are wonderful and we have
become very fond of some of the staff.
After breakfast we took the car through a car wash then out to American Heritage Storage to put our car in a storage unit with a trickle charger
running. Fred had to open up the sun
roof and stand on the seats to remove the light bulb and replace it with an
outlet and extension cord. When he was
ready to close the door and lock the space he couldn’t find the lock we
bought. Bad words were said and the
decision to ask the managers of the place for a suggestion. Fred went in to the office and they handed
him a new lock, still in the package and refused to charge us for it. That is the sort of thing that will keep us
coming back here each year. Fred just got back to the front of the building
when good old Mert from Mert’s taxi drove up.
He just loved Merlin and even invited him to sit in the front with
him. However, my baby boy had no
intentions of being so far from me. We
got back to the boat around noon and made preparations to leave dock. The wind is mild and the rain is slacking off
for awhile. The only challenge was that
we were leaving Cap Sante at low tide.
Fred saw as low as 4 ½ feet under the the keel. He was sweating bullets. However, he stayed mid-channel and we had no
trouble getting into Guemes Channel. We
encountered about 1’ chop in Rosario Straight and had a very pleasant trip to
Deer Harbor on the west side of Orcas Island.
We anchored in 35’ of water about 100 yards from the marina. It is too wet and cold to put the dinghy in
the water today.
