After an easy day to Port Townsend where we spent the afternoon walking around town, we started early (5am) for S. Pender Island. We bumped in to outpr rigging friend Brion Toss and will be catching up with him for dinner on our retrun trip home. Why so early? The currents were favorable only with this early start. And it is pretty cool to feel like you are the only boat out here. Except of course for the Coast Guard Ice Breaker Healy and a few tankers, the Straits are ours.
It doesnt seem bad waking up early if your not going to work! The snowcapped Olympics are on our port and Mt baker on our Starboard, a pink and gold sunrise and mirror calm water. Add in a feast of fresh blueberry pancakes and it doesnt get much better!
More from Pender later.
beautiful! Safe journey....
