Our beautiful little grandson decided to make an appearance three weeks earlier than expected so Europa left Victoria Harbor at daylight yesterday.
We had a wonderful couple of days in that lovely city with the Zs but it was
time to go! We wish them well as they continue to points north. (Miss you two…and
Gus!)
We made it to Eagle Harbor last night – that was probably
the longest day of boating for us ever. At that point we were sure we weren’t going
to make it home for his birth anyway so decided to take it somewhat easy. Well,
things slowed down…and then we sped up…and then we thought we would make it
this morning...and then didn’t get there in time. 😊 But we were at the hospital just about an
hour after he was born, so it all worked out. It was definitely the quickest
docking, tying up, and locking the boat ever.
Mom and baby are very well.
Here are a few photos of the last couple of days of our San
Juan Island Summer 2019 trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better day to travel
to meet Malcolm (Mac!) – the water was calm, the sunrise over Seattle was brilliant,
and the mountain was glorious. The trip down Colvos Pass was extraordinary.
We’ll take some time with the new family and then we have
boat chores galore. We’re planning a haul out soon, which will be new territory
for us.
Signing off…for a while…
