Captain Peter and first mate Patty spent the night on Crescent Wave. We woke to a spectacular morning and after breakfast and coffee we went off to the airport to pick up Gerry and Jenny who arrived from Calgary at 8:15 in the morning. After gear was stowed we headed out towards the San Juan Isands - Friday Harbor(Sara is right. It is very difficult to spell harbor without the U) We were not hopeful about getting any wind but we were pleasantly surprised. We put up the sails and we were happy to cruise 5-6 knots. We even had a chance to put up the jenny (the sail not the passenger) and sailed along reaching about 6-7 knots. It is always so beautiful to see that sail full out. Gosh, what a beautiful day. We could not have had a better day. We reached Friday Harbor around 1:30. After clearing customs, we smoored in at Charlie dock. We then set out to the town. Jenny bought some great boat shoes at the marine store and we all enjoyed a great dinner outside at Downriggers. Back to the boat we went, where a bottle of Sailor Jerry was put away happily by the passengers. Off to bed we went. Tomorrow we are back to Canada, going to Ganges wiith a stop off in Bedwell Harbour to clear customs.
