We left Friday Harbour for Kozad's new home at Anchor Cove Marina in Anacortes!
This has been our longest time out on Kozad and we have both truly enjoyed the experience; so much so that we do not want to leave the boat!
We are seriously considering moving up to a larger boat; we love Kozad but would like to spend 4 to 6 months on board! A few more feet would be nice; don't they call that two footitis!!!!

On our way to Friday Harbour we saw a large 65' motor yacht who was loosing diesel fuel out of the side of the boat! It was like a red waterfall pouring down his hull! Craig tried to hail him on the VHF, Channel 16, but there was no response as the skipper was obviously not monitoring his radio! We were so busy trying to call him that we did not get the camera out, so no picture unfortunately!
We saw a beautiful classic 1920's cruiser!

Little boat amongst large new neighbours!
As usual, one of the first things Craig does is clean the boat!
Having covered moorage is great; while Craig was washing the boat it was raining outside!We caught the Washington State Ferry to Sidney, B.C., the day after arriving in Anacortes; this was so we could pick up our car which we had left with our son Jim! We once again stayed with Garry & Joanne our close friends who live in the Sidney area on Vancouver Island.
Garry & Joanneover the past 4 years had made many trips to the Portside Marina
in Brentwood Bay to keep a watchful eye on Kozad!

This is a beauty, the boat is nice also!
MV Wells GrayThis is a retired 53' Fisheries Patrol Vessel
We were invited on for a tour by the owner!
One of our favorite past times is walking the docks!This is a beautiful 60 plus motor boat!
We were fortunate to connect with Bill and Darith who are also Willard owners living in Anacortes! They invited us to their home to meet, and we had a great evening visiting and sharing diner at the Adrift Restuarant!

Kozad where are you????

We had to have Kozad's mast cut so we could fit into our new slip!
Who would think it would cost so much to cut a piece of wood in half.

We were planning to work on Kozad before leaving on Saturday, 26th June for home! But Craig's back has been very bad for the last 5 weeks; something to do with kicking the soccer ball and throwing the Frisbee with our nephews Brandon and Dillon in Duncan! Somehow he thinks he can do things he can't, must be a man thing!
So, we are planning on some quiet time when we will play tourists and explore Anacortes before our holiday ends!
We have had a great time on the water, the only complaint is the weather has been unseasonably cold, wet and windy. It obviously has not been that bad, as both of us are feeling somewhat sad and a little depressed that we are having to leave Kozad for our Coldstream home!
We do though thoroughly love our new marina and the Anacortes area. New adventures and a lot of exploring await our next trip on Kozad!
