Grays Harbor

We spent today, Friday 5/30, resting, taking care of business and enjoying making it to Washington!!! Alexus found a local diesel service shop, called and they had someone out in 20 minutes to change all the engine fuel filters, there are 6 fuel filters for both engines. Since it is a commercial fishing harbor, it made great sense that someone would be available. We had all the spare filters and Alexus has had experience with changing them, however it is a mess and time consuming. Don, the engine tech, brought filters and tested everything so we still have our spares. The filters were black and it would have been difficult for the port engine to get fuel while under load. There is a laundry within walking distance, so we did that while the filters were being changed. Tomorrow is the first day of salmon season here and there are a few more boats, but still nothing near the bay area. There is a great restaurant at the end of Westport Marina called Half Moon Bay (Yes, just like back home) and it had excellent food and a great wine list. It was the first nice place for dinner, in fact the nicest we have been in since leaving the SF Bay area. Oregon although pretty was like stepping back in time 50 years. Well tomorrow we get up and head for the Straight of San Juan De Fuca and Neah Harbor. It will take us 14 hours to make the trip, so up early again 5:00am and not in harbor until about 7:30pm. The seas are still nice, 5 feet in 11 seconds, winds out of NW at 8 knots, and the sun is finally out. Given our travel time most likely won't update the blog until Sunday, when we hope to be in Port Angeles! Love to all.
