A Winter Week in Wonderland

We went up to Friday Harbor the Friday night before last, and came home on Thursday night the following week. In between, just rocks, water and plants. Oh, and sky. And books. And walks. And card games. And great food. And conversations large and small. Just an escapade into the wonderland of nature and each other. Our truest homes.

Here are a few pictures from the various stops and routes, which included the American and Canadian islands of Stuart, Saturna, Tumbo, Russell, Jones:

Such a small thing, to take us so deep and far

Is there a prettier sight?

Jealous!! Will have to find that rope swing next time we're at Tumbo. Do you check in and out at Friday Harbor or do you have Nexus cards? -- Bass

Hi Bass,
Friday Harbor is our marina but we have Nexus cards. We cruise year round and cross the border so much it just makes all the difference. The rope swing at Tumbo is hard to miss, you walk the trail from the anchorage and it hangs from the giant oak tree at the head of the harbor. Truly magical.
