Unexpected Visitors!!!

Yesterday we left the slip for a day of sailing & planned to have an overnight in Bowman Bay. I got a surprising text from my friend Shaundy telling me she was going to meet us in Bowman Bay! What an awesome surprise!

Shaundy, Greg & Hailey came just in time for evening cocktails!:)

Nick & Greg did a little crabbing.



Hailey got to eat a Lunchable. A real treat!



Mom stayed up past her bed time!!!!






We had a great night (& Greg did too even though he doesn't look like it in this photo)

More photos & stories to come when we get back to the slip....

Carly & CJ came for a visit!

A few weeks ago, my friend Carly and her son CJ (a.k.a. Christian) came to have dinner on the boat. My parents have had visitors throughout our trip, so it was really nice to have a visitor of my own. :) Carly has been my friend since grade school...hard to believe that we have stayed in contact all of these years!

Here are a few pictures from their visit on the boat:



Carly looks like a ghost sitting next to me. I got a little too much color this day! :)




CJ excited to be on the boat!






I took this picture from our bunk. CJ is up on deck looking down at me. I had to show him all of the cool spots on the boat. :)




After a tour of the boat we had taco salads with veggie meat. CJ didn't know it was veggie meat until after dinner. hee hee

Nick took CJ out for a ride in the dingy after dinner. They had a blast rowing around the marina. They saw a seal and followed it for a bit. A really fun adventure for a little kid and a big kid! :)




Christian looking at us through the porthole!





After the dingy ride it was time to play some games up in our bunk. Nick loves showing off his toys!



We had a great time catching up with Carly & CJ. Next time we are hoping Chris (Carly's husband) will have the night off work! We missed you Chris! :)

Prepping for another trip...

So I'm totally behind on blog posts! We have been having so much fun & I just haven't taken the time to catch up! Here is a quick phone post for those who are on pins & needles!:)

We are in Anacortes getting ready to take another trip. My dad installed a windvane & an autopilot over the last couple of days.

Nick got a new toy as well! He got a new camera after some bargaining with me!:) We will go out and try the new toys tomorrow!

As of this evening the plan is to head to Bowman Bay and catch some more crabs!!! So if you want some crab, give us a call & bring a bucket! We will give you a tour of the boat and send you home with some crabs. You will need to do the cleaning.:)

Until next time....

4th of July

Trying out posting a blog from my phone. On Saturday our friends , Greg & Shaundy, had asked us to join them for the 4th of July at a house they have rented on Orcas Island. We had to be back at the dock on Sunday for my dad to pick up an autopilot. So, it worked out perfectly for us to join our friends for the 4th.
After a couple days of fun & a few cocktails we started a conversation about blogging. Both Shaundy & her friend Wendy blog. Wendy & I started talking about blogging & she got me all set up to blog from my phone! So exciting!!!
Thank you Wendy!!!
Happy 4th of July!!!
