Entrance to Reid Harbor

Taken from Cemetery Island, with Gossip Island in the foreground is the entrance to Reid Harbor, Stuart Island. Pamela's favorite place in the San Juan Islands.

Cooling Off

Buddy loves retrieving sticks thrown into the water...and here at Cemetery Island (aka Buddy's Island) the water is crystal clear, but not so warm.

Narrow Pass

Cliff is looking over the pass between Stuart Island and Cemetery Island. According to locals you can take a deep draft boat through...but not me! The passage is narrow with a very strong current and lots of nasty rocks.

Master Navigator

Cliff is trying to master some basic navigation skills, but he still confuses a sextant with binnoculars.

Doggie Run

Pamela running Buddy to shore for his three-times-a-day pee.

Grocery Run, Julie & Pamela

With four women on board, Pamela, Julie, MaryBeth and Donna, we really ran through the groceries. Took the dink to Orcas landing to shop, barely enough room for all of us and the groceries!

Foulweather gear? Donna & Pamela

The crew didn't understand why Pamela wanted to wear her foulweather gear to do the three mile run to get groceries...until the run back, into the wind and waves.

Dulcinea

This is Dulcinea, sistership to White Swan II. Pamela and Judy met up with her at Bedwell Harbor, North Pender Island BC. We had a lovely day and evening. The next day we left together and raced to Ganges... Dulcinea was dismasted during our race. She didn't reef.

Ferry & Mount Baker

This was taken just off of Upright Head, north of Lopez Island. This is the ferry between Annacortes and Sidney BC.

Great Blue Heron

It was a patient process, but we finally got a picture of one of these gorgeous birds in flight.
