Friday Harbor 3 days of Intermittent Rain June 3, 4, 5th

Except for the intermittent rain, Friday Harbor is a great little town on the island of San Juan. Yea!!! We made it to the San Juan Islands!!! It has a nice and somewhat busy marina. It is only 1.5 hours from the mainland and passenger /car/truck transport ferries stop here about 8 times per day. Friday Harbor is considered a large island town with gift shops, restaurants and a small movie theatre, one grocery store, etc… Since for our next stop, we wanted to anchor our, we decided to see if the weather would clear before we left Friday Harbor. You will see from the pictures we had some sun, but mostly showers and overcast. We met some very friendly folks, Jane and Ed from the Capital City Yacht Club in British Columbia, who were on a cruise out with members of their club. We shared travel stories and promised we would try and make it to the Canadian side of the water and the Gulf Islands. Given the rainy weather, it was a good opportunity to change our travel pace, go to a movie and just enjoy the small town. It is small enough that we could walk everywhere and did not need the bikes. In fact we saw two movies, Sex and the City and Indian Jones. Sex in the City was good if you had watched the series. Alexus thought it was the best movie we have seen this year. Indian Jones on the other hand, I would not recommend. It had no plot and seemed to be set up to make a video game out of then movie after its release. Again we enjoyed the charm of Friday Harbor and were hoping for a break in the weather.
