Bell Harbor Marina to Fauntleroy Cove August 11th, 2008

We awoke Monday morning somewhat sad because Bruce would be returning home to Boulder. We walked up to the dock onto Pier 66 to wait with him until his shuttle arrived. The shuttle arrived on time and we said "goodbye for now" to Bruce. I know we will see him again and I hope it is within the year. We were hungry so walked over to the Marriot and had a nice brunch.

Alexus had been in recent contact with another Colorado - Seattle friend, Marci Bowers, and we hoped to get together with her and her family at their home here in Seattle. It worked out perfectly.






We were able to anchor about 200 yards from the beach in front of Marci and Ann’s lovely home. They have a beautiful waterfront house, three great kids and a softy of a dog named Maui. Marci and Ann prepared a wonderful vegetarian meal as we conversed, while their son Thomas taught Alexus and I how to play Wii video games. After dinner Marci, Ann, Thomas, Alexus and I all squeezed into the dinghy to take them out to NuMoon for a short cruise before it got dark. We weighed anchor and headed for the north point of Blake Island enjoying the last light of sunset with weather that was still warm enough to sit on the forward deck for the outward trip. As the sun set and it cooled, we all moved to the fly bridge on the way back. We once again anchored in front of their house, returned safely to their beach via dinghy, and had some fantastically fresh peach cobbler. Since it was getting late and tomorrow was a work day for Marci and Ann, we thanked them for the dinner, hospitality and gracious company. We said our goodbyes and Alexus and I returned to NuMoon for the night.
