Europa and Stay Awhile made the short trip from Fisherman
Bay to Friday Harbor yesterday morning. It was going to be a short stop for
groceries on the way to Rosario (Orcas Island), but we decided to stay the
night at the marina. (Stay Awhile continued to Rosario after lunch at our
favorite pub, The Cask & Schooner.)
Much to our surprise and delight, a man and his daughter pulled
in next to us and offered us a fresh salmon fillet, one of two Chinook the
young girl caught just a couple of hours earlier. (Dad says he just drives the
boat!)
As he cleaned the fish, the dad fed a couple of seals. It
was a great show, and about the best close up to seals we’ve had. It got
better, as one of them looked for more on the dock.
The most spectacular show was yet to come. Double rainbows!
You can just barely see the second one in the first photo. A glorious end to another
good day.
As I write this Thursday morning, and after a night of
substantial rainfall, we are noticing that the leak that has been plaguing us
seems to have been fixed – no water running down the interior galley wall after
heavy rain. (Thanks to Don at R.T.)
Our plan is to join Stay Awhile at Rosario later today.
