We have arrived! After fixing some things at the dock last week, we were READY to head out to the islands. With so many options and a killer forecast, we knew we'd find what we were looking for. Although, I have to say when we picked up a mooring on Spencer's Spit - Lopez Island, I had no idea we'd stay for 3 days...
I'm so happy we did because we really got a feel for the place. Being a spit, we had two long beaches to hike (and throw the ball for Sugar - she is addicted) with an island across from the tip. Believe it or not, we could have brought our boat through this narrow passage.
We were pleasantly reminded how much time slows down with this lifestyle, and how three days literally feels like a week. It is so luxurious to have unlimited time to reflect, read and talk against such a beautiful backdrop.
I have to say I love that Nick enjoys rowing us around in our dingy so much. I wish you could see all the starfish and creatures clinging to the rocks.
Our last night was the best. Nick's uncle Chris and aunt Susan came out to see us on their gorgeous boat! It was so fun to visit on their upper deck for sunset and then watch an episode of "Breaking Bad" in style. We can't wait to meet up with them again soon!!
Alas, it was time to head back to the dock for food, laundry, water, and of course more boat work! The sail home was perfect - can you imagine the Olympics off to your right, because they were gorgeous too. We also saw a submarine and dolphins playing in our wake!
Sugar didn't seem too impressed...or maybe she was just tired from all that ball chasing!
One more Sugar snap, I couldn't resist!
