June 2010: Anacortes, the final leg!

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 & Joanne
over the past 4 years had made many trips to the Portside Marina
in Brentwood Bay to keep a watchful eye on Kozad!
