Back on Land After 2 Weeks “Out”

The morning started off slowly at Sucia, making pancakes while Shane prepared the deck for our departure. We left at 10:30, on schedule with the current.

Wyatt chilling on deck.

The wind wasn’t great. We motorsailed most of the way, with Shane killing the engine as we got closer to Semiahmoo Bay to sail a bit. while he sailed I worked on my food inventory spreadsheet, making a shopping list from it.

Emerald water coming out of Sucia.

The water today was amazing. So mixed up, but wow! The colors went from a bright emerald green to light green, brown. It was a sight to see! The sky was partially overcast again, but warm enough to be on deck in a t-shirt.

Kelly spent most of the day out on deck.

Once we reached our slip we decided to head out for lunch. Kelly was also able to go scootering, something he had been looking forward to.

I need to go grocery shopping, but am going to wait. We did go to a Safeway in Bellingham for a few items to get through Sunday with.

Going to Bellingham was a big reason for us to be back. We’ll be making a few trips there this week.

Thor!

Our first trip there last night was to see the new Thor! I had read some reviews and was nervous before going. I don’t understand people, because that movie was so fun. We all loved it and had a blast seeing it in the theatre. When it ended everyone clapped.

We did a Marvel marathon during COVID lockdowns, each night watching the next movie in the timeline. We had the best time doing that, seeing movies we had skipped watching when they were released. Marvel movies and series will always be a go-to in our house from now on.

Don’t rock the boat, baby 😘

“Recents” from February - it was a busy one! Kelly is in a drama production here on island. The kids have been climbing (and Shane). Shane has been sailing, paddling, sauna-ing, and working on the boat (and working). We’ve made a lot of local friends and new boat buddies! Homeschool was mainly done off the boat this month with a lot of time exploring our out of this world surroundings.

Grammy and Grampy came to visit. Friday Harbor is a favorite boating destination for them, but their first time staying with us! 

The family traveled to the mainland for a boat part once and bundled it with a Trader Joe’s stop and to see Ant Man (we loved it). 

It sounds like March is going to live up to its name and we’re ready for it.

Another adventure on the island! It's so beautiful here. 

Winter is the time to be here — ferries, hotels, and rental cars are more affordable. Plus, there’s a quarter of the people.

If you can be patient with ferry cancellations/changes, odd restaurant hours, some windy bits, a little rain here and there (this is the sunshine belt though), the odd snow storm — then winter is 👌 😋

You know it gets windy there with the gnarled trees and grass like that 😋

The boys and I tried to hike around here last June when we anchored in Griffin Bay. I had to call Shane to pick us up early in the dinghy because my eyes were too swollen and itchy to keep going. Oh well! We had a mostly dry hike this time and the views were beautiful. Especially on the west side overlooking Victoria.
