July 1st

2:30 am

20 mph winds are moving the boat around; if this keeps up I should try to push around 6 am as it may be a long rough run.

5:45 15 minutes before the alarm was to go off Tim H knoocks on my window to wake me up. Make a quick cup of JO and push off.

I round the point and the beating begins: "I am glad I used rain-x glass cleaner on the outside window. The water beaded and ran off real well. The run took almost 45 minutes just to Friday Harbor but wasn't too bad compared to what we run in fishing for tuna and halibut. Other than the wind from last night the weather has been great in fact almost too hot.

After Erin made it to downtown we walked back to the boat loaded up and pushed off to hit the fuel dock, and then the push back to Sucia Island. By the time we hit the section that was lumpy on the way in the tide had come up and the wind had died down enough to smooth the ride out. Back on Giligan's island the gang was just stiring from their deep slumber except for Tim who never sleeps. Tied back up and spent the day and evening walking the island, laughing it up, having fun thinking about the next port of call. We .will head out in the morning for BC
