Stuart Island State Park June 6th, 2008

There are simply hundreds of little and larger islands in the San Juans. We wanted to get away from the marinas and find a place to moor out for a day or two. Many of Washington’s State parks have small docks, floats, mooring bouys, and something we had not seen before, in line mooring. Alexus found a great island called Stuart Island and it was a state park. So we left Friday Harbor on a nice sunny day, (Yea!), and headed to Stuart Island to check out Reid Harbor and Prevost Harbor. We left Friday harbor after 1pm as we were waiting for our next mail delivery. Thanks to a wonderful person, Ava at UPS in Alameda, we have been able to keep up with our mail. We may not exactly be next day, but we are only about a week to a week and a half in getting our mail delivered to us, wherever we may be. Alexus had her bills set up as autopay, and I have done much of the same. It is very easy to manage all other business via e-mail. We got to Reed Harbor and it was very pleasant with trees and a beach, a small dock and mooring bouys, but we wanted to see Provost harbor so we went around to the east side of the island and it was just so peaceful, beautiful and there was less wind. So we we moored out,brought the dinghy down put it in the water, and spent two days in the Harbor and on the little island.
