We didn’t go very far today, but we had a great time.
After getting coffee and internet access in the morning, we
left about noon and cruised for a whole hour before we dropped anchor in Blind
Bay, on Shaw Island. On the way, we had
a beautiful view of Mt. Baker:
We have two sets of Montlake friends, the MacLeods and the
Frankenbergs, who used to be neighbors but moved away several years ago. They both have homes on Shaw and since we
haven’t seen them in a long time we arranged to spend the afternoon
visiting. We dinghied over to the ferry
landing where the MacLeods picked us up.
Shaw Island has a number of beautiful homes, but only one small business
which is a little grocery store.
Nevertheless, Alex gave us a great tour of the island and pointed out
lots of things that we never knew were here, like the community run library,
the museum, the oldest continuously running school in the state (K – 8), the
community center, and the glorious views.
We went to the Frankenberg’s home and had a great time catching up –
Allison used to babysit their kids, and now the oldest is beginning high
school. Man, time flies. Over to Alex’s house to see it for the first
time, and then back to our dinghy. A fun
day.
