Thursday September 8, Anacortes WA
It was time this morning to strip the bed and put things away for the last time this trip. Another stunning day, this really is the best time of the year, can’t believe that we have not had a drop of rain for over 8 weeks and by the look of the weather it will continue like this until we leave on Sunday. Such a comparison to last years trip to Alaska where we had so many grey days and quite a bit of rain.
The half hour ferry trip across the Strait of Juan de Fuca to Whidbey Island is surprisingly inexpensive, it was only $35 for Ruakiwi and Ian and I. It was just a short hop then to the picturesque little seaside village of Coupeville, have been before with Sherry and just love the atmosphere. We had a light lunch in café overlooking the water and wandered down to the end of the wharf before heading north for the final drive to Sherry and Terry’s.
Ruakiwi seems to know her way here, it felt like coming home. Lots of chatting this afternoon and catching up with the summer holidays. Sherry cooked Ian’s salmon with onions, lemon and dill on the barbecue it was superb, amazing flavours.
Tomorrow it will be time to pack our bags and put Ruakiwi with bed.
