In Response To: Hey Robin... (link) (pic) (Francois M26S Vancouver Island)

I am well underway, we have already spent a week entertaining my sisters at Bell Harbor Seattle, we spent a night at Blake Island, a great little park marina with city views, and forest trails, followed by Eagle Harbor, and Winslow on Bainbridge Island.
Currently we are at the Kingston Port guest dock (15 Miles north of Seattle on the west side), it is very affordable, (65c a foot) well equipped, clean and attractive. The town has a big grocery store, and huge hardware store, as well as many touristy shops near the ferry terminal.We will hang here for a day or two (great beach), then trek north towards deception pass.
We will be in the San Juan's for the crab opener on 4/2, and we are also meeting some good friends with a Contessa 26, they are from Vancouver BC..,along with 2 stateside boaters, as well as my brother-in-law and his Mac 26D..
We all hope to meet-up for 7/4 fireworks in Friday Harbor...then whatever the group consensus directs, but should include a foray into the Gulf Islands and some crabbing off Stuart Island
We will depart the boat, leaving it with friends in Bellingham 7/24, we then head north on the super ferry with our cabover camper to explore Alaska for 3 weeks.
Would be super to meet, our boat phone is 831 419 8684..
Cheers to you Robin
