From The Water

Carl had a grand time going through his Piloting course and I had a weekend to get organized and packed for the long anticipated excursion.

Monday morning we arrived bright and early for the check in and vessel orientation. By early afternoon we were motoring out of the Cap Sante Harbor with enough information to have our heads spinning. It is good to know they won't let just any Bubba out on the high seas. We made it a short day and headed to Hunter Bay on Lopez Sound, only a few hours away. We spent the evening quietly reabsorbing all the information that had been fed to us.

It is beautiful out here and although many mornings havc been cloudy the past two afternoons have been absolutely beautify. The shores seem to be more developed than I had expected and there are some really opulent homes. I guess there are a few dot-comers who didn't loose all of their money.

Last night we moored at the Sucia Island Marine State Park. We were in good company with ten other boats including two 40+ foot sailing vessels which appear to be either a class trip or somthing similar to a NOLS course

There certainly are some beautiful baots out here.

Time to motor off into the sun and see what today has to offer. I know it will be exciting and beautiful
