Back to Washington - Day 4

I got out of bed around 8:45am this morning, surprisingly. And it was sunny out… with some clouds though. We had thought we were going to take a drive to La Connor to bum around. But we soon decided, after checking the upcoming weather forecast, that today may be the best weather we see while I’m here. So we decided to go for it and take the boat out, for the first time since they bought it. We went first to get 400 gallons of fuel put in it, then headed to Friday Harbor. Much faster than Aquila would have taken us. So we got there in an hour and a half, and had some lunch on the way. When we got there, we just wandered around town a bit. We also saw Popeye, the seal who is blind in one eye and comes to the docks every day for handouts. And I found a great candy store. One that carries all sorts of random candies from the 60’s, 70’s, etc that you can’t get everywhere, so I bought a few things. Then we just headed back to the boat as it got dark. Fred got the idea in his head to transfer his Directv account from their old house, to the receiver on the boat. So after about 90+ mins on the phone with them, we now have satellite TV on the boat. So we watched some TV while having pork loin, mashed potatoes and fresh asparagus for dinner. Then I continued to watch some TV after they crashed, while writing this blog.
