Friday Harbor

We had a good sail to Friday Harbor. We were one of the last ones to leave our anchorage this morning and it looked like we would be left behind. The boats in front of us lost wind and we caught up. Then we all struggled along. More wind and off we go! We were the first ones into Friday Harbor because we tacked less with our fixed keel that allows us to point higher.
The weather is overcast this afternoon but we have had NO rain. Couldn't ask for better weather. We had a good night in our anchorage last night. We got out the Magna grill and had grilled fresh Washington state asparagus, sweet potatoes and hamburgers. IT'S A TOUGH LIFE BUT SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT!!
Sometimes it feels rather chilly to us Texas, but we are manageing because we have some good sweatshirts. Inmagine, Sweatshirts in late June. We stay nice and cozy at night with our new boomtent and our wool blanket.
Eldor has spent a lot of time playing with his GPS. He is trying so hard to learn how to set the waypoints. Then he get frustrated!! So far we have not gotten lost because we stay in sight of the other boats.
We are all meeting in a little while to go eat together.
