Can you guess where we are?
We made the short trip from Friday Harbor (San Juan Island)
to Fisherman Bay (Lopez Island) on Wednesday. It’s been a bit windy, which has
mitigated the hot weather a bit. (Nick has been saying all summer that he thinks
the weather is windier than usual, in general. Several locals have agreed.)
Fisherman Bay is our favorite spot. It may be about our comfort
level with both the island, overall, and the anchoring conditions. We feel safe
and protected here, and enjoy the quiet and the views. And it's the fish tacos at
Bucky’s…and it’s the bike riding…and it’s the Lopez Village Thrift Shop…and it’s
the sunsets…

As the window decal I saw yesterday states: Don’t change
Lopez; Let Lopez change you.
We rode our bikes to check out the rental house we booked
for next summer’s family trip. Quite nice.
It rained last night, and this morning is foggy. Our plan after
the fog burns off is to head north to Stuart Island. (It’s the start of Labor
Day weekend so we are prepared to see a lot of boats on the water!) After a couple
of nights in Reid Harbor, we’ll head to Garrison Bay. This will put us back at
San Juan Island, and just around the corner from Roche Harbor, where we will be
for five days participating in the Ranger Tugs/Cutwater boats annual rendezvous.
(200 boats!) Looking forward to connecting with Coorie Doon!
Does Nick have the makings for crab rolls?
