OPENING DAY 2016

Opening Day 2016.  "Zero Dock" is a temporary dock put up behind the club and that's where the party is.  The Canadians take up the end of the dock and put up a 'border' from the rest of the dock. Strict check-in protocols are followed to pass through the border.  You need to answer a Canadian question.  A 6 year old sentry challenged me with a question.  "Who is the prime minister of Canada."  Relieved, I answered 'Justin Trudeau'.  We were in.

This whale, from Tacoma was articulated with a pump that spouted water.

 Cambria got dressed up.

Good weekend

WEEKEND PICS

Saturday Morning began with this sunrise

A quick trip to the island to attend to a few chores.  Camera nearby, here are some of the images taken between chores.

Stately Trawler

Found in the shop.

Kuper thought he heard something.

Perfect Island coffee mug (thank you Justin and Calvin!)

Romsdal Trawler.  Thought it was headed north to Alaska. Until I saw it go south the next day.

Mount Baker.  Still waiting for it to blow its top.  

All those new homes over on Orcas.  The view just isn't the same.  Or is it?

Troller headed North

Sunday Morning Breakfast -- the first of the year outside!

But coming home isn't bad either....
