Wayfare by Water: Day 2 - Friday Harbor, San Juan Island

Watching the sunset after a great dinner

I awoke this morning to Jason popping out of bed before 7am. Keep in mind this has NEVER happened by his own free will. He was so excited to start our journey! We were underway by 7:30am for our 60 mile treck and made pretty good time. We were cruising at 18 knots most of the way, getting a good push from the ebb, through the straits. You could see the tide changing in front of us, which was crazy to see. The weather was overcast, but by the time we arrived in Friday Harbor, it was becoming a gorgeous day. We arrived at the SYC outstation, just outside of the main marina in Friday Harbor in less than 4 hours. We got settled and cleaned up, dropped our crab pot and joined our friends from the St. Francis Yacht Club. We took our dinghy over to the main marina and had cocktails on our friend chartered 42’ Grand Banks, walked around town, got some ice cream, and popped into some shops. We headed back to retrieve our crab pot and had some success! We had 2 keepers in a pot full of babies and ladies. Needless to say they were our dinner. Later on that evening, we realized we were over our alcohol allotment heading in Canada and we needed to do something about that. Luckily, we had friends who were there to help!
