At 0500 hrs, we were underway for Blind Bay, on Shaw Island. The wind and seas were calm, but there were patches of fog all the way to Lopez Pass. There wasn’t much boat traffic, probably because it’s Father’s Day, so our passage was quite relaxing. It felt good to be back on the water.
Our friend, Jean Hart, on “Jambo IV” hailed us on the VHF, but the signal was so poor we weren’t able to respond. We haven’t seen Jean since she bought Ernie Harding’s boat, “DX”, a few years ago and renamed it “Jambo IV”. Hopefully, we’ll be able to meet up with Jean somewhere along the way.
By 1400 hrs, we were anchored in Blind Bay on Shaw Island. There’s still shifting fog, which I hope clears out before we leave in the morning. Al got busy fixing us a delicious dinner of barbecued baby back ribs, fresh corn on the cob, zucchini, yellow squash, brussel sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower rice…..outstanding. And for dessert, luscious fresh Rainier cherries.
