Capt. Jon Z.
From the cold water to the hot...
On Tuesday morning (7/22), we walked to downtown Eastsound for coffee and breakfast, and then took off in Briskwater to travel just 3 miles south to Rosario, home to a nearly 100-year old historical mansion, spa, resort, and tiny tiny marina. There is only room for about 40 boats to dock at Rosario Marina, and all spots had been taken by earlier reservations, so we settled for paying for a mooring buoy.
The big bonus to staying at Rosario is that the mansion on the grounds (old Mayor Bob Moran's home) has been converted to a large spa. Sarah and I enjoyed the hot tub, sauna, two swimming pools, and the weight room, as well as the upstairs of the mansion, which gives a walkthrough of Robert Moran's life and times as a shipbuilder, mayor, and state park activist.
The night spent in the East Sound tied to the buoy was placid and uneventful.
Our next stop will be Doe Bay/Doe Island, some 7 miles of sailing away from Rosario Resort and facing the Rosario Strait.
