Anacortes June 19th Rachel and MK Join Us

We completed all our tasks for the Nexus card and had returned the car and were getting ready to leave Anacortes in the afternoon and head for some locations south of Anacortes. Alexus had finally given up on the dish and caved in to her TV desire and arranged to have a SeaTel dish installed. It will be nice to have TV, but I don’t want her to know that as we have been reading and doing more computer things and we simply survived quite well without TV all this time. We were going to have the work done early next week in Anacortes and we also needed a new auto pilot as our remote on the fly bridge had died after we got into the San Juans. We used the auto pilot a great deal at sea, as it kept us on course with the wind and seas. We also knew it meant staying about four to five more days in Anacortes next week, but it is a great marina and a good place to walk so we were both up for the change in not traveling daily for a while. As we were heading back to the boat to leave, Alexus got a phone call and guess what! Rachel and MK were in Seattle, they had completed a great deal of their move in activities and due to a pet action, “Thank you Ripley” were headed back from the airport. We told them we were in Anacortes and that in less than two hours they could join us on the boat and spend until Sunday when Rachel had to fly back to Denver. They agreed and were on their way. We had also heard from Clyde and Carolyn and had agreed to meet them in Coupeville at Toby’s Bar for excellent Penn Cove mussels. The weekend was set!
