DST Day 1

Today launches a 15 day adventure...the Desolation Sound Trip (DST) 2018. We are cruising north to Port Townsend on this first day, departing the Foss a day earlier than planned.

We returned just yesterday evening from our annual trip to the San Juan Islands (back to Lopez this year!) with family. We trailered the little boat, leaving Europa  behind. We had a great time, the weather was mostly awesome, and the new-to-us rental house was nice.

Crabs were not as plentiful as past years but we still got our Dungeness fix. We ate well, in general, mostly thanks to chef Sierra (see photo of Salmon Nicoisse).

We had the most spectacular owl sightings just a short walk from the house, at the start of the path to Upright Channel park. Also, the closest we've ever been to a bald eagle!

We are looking forward to spending time with our boating friends, and visiting new cruising destinations.
