We started of with a customs check in at Roche harbor then on to Garrison Bay.
Next stop Jones island to meet with Dave & Jody ----
after trying for 3 years we finally make it to the same place at the same time!!A few days later we meet our FOGGER friends at Friday Harbor - good times as always.
The following week we spent at a few of our old favorite spots - Shallow bay on Succia is by far the best for sunsets!
Full moon at Princess Cove, Wallace Island on the way home.
Back just in time to haul the boat, do routine maintenance on Puffin, yard work at home, etc. and get reorganized to head north this time - we start out with our friends Bob & Carol on Colibri (which is now sold, so we were lucky to spend some time cruising with them)
