Grays Harbor to Neah Bay

We left at "0" dark thirty to start our 14 hour day to Neah Bay. The skies were overcast, seas were 3 feet at 12 seconds, but the wind was 15-20 knots of the the north west creating chop the whole way. Not bad chop, but like a slightly choppy day on the SF Bay. We got to Neah Bay without an incident. The fuel filter change in Grays Harbor did the trick. No issues with either engine!!!We pulled into the Straight of San Juan De Fuca and were finally off the ocean. The light house on Cape Flattery is a beautiful sight and a welcome one. It means we stop our travel and start our cruising. Although current, winds and tides are still critical, there will be islands and bays to take shelter in. Along the way into the straight we saw birds called Tuffted Puffins and at Neah Bay a bald eagle picked a fish out of the water about 20 yards from us. Two great sights for a birder!!! We pulled into Neah Bay at 7:45pm and it was about 8:45 when we finished tying up and messing with the the power on the dock. We walked over to the Big Salmon Marina which is on an Indian Reservation and they said the only place open was "The shack" across from the mini mart so we started walking. It really is a shack, but the food was fine. It is hard to ruin a burger, or breakfast for that matter. Anyway we walked back ate our burger and turned in for the night. Tomorrow we head to Port Angeles.
