Read MoreFriday Harbor, Crabs and A Shrimp Days 26 and 27
Sunday started with breakfast burritos and plans to catch crab. We plotted our trip on the map. One of the cool things about the PNW, and the reason its a boating paradise despite the sketchy weather, is there are so many destinations. So many islands, so little time. First I had to acquire a 1-day…

Wound up spending almost 2 hours catching up online and posting to this blog. I’m increasingly surprised at…

I arrived last night around 8:30 PM after pushing hard to get to Portland. I arrived just before dusk, and the city sparkled, as if it was expecting me. Steve and I stayed up into the early morning. We chatted about the business, my trip, his reinvention of himself into an attorney, family and people…
