Well we finnally can say we have been to Sucia Island! The 10th anniversary party for the Pacific Northwest Sailors group was held in Sucia where it all started a decade ago! Isabella motor sailed her way all the way over Orcas Island for the first time (with us as crew) and didnt miss a beat along the way! After two days of good times with good friends we made the jump down to Friday Harbor passing Jones and Waldron Islands along the way. I know I know big deal! But for us it was. We anchord outside of the marina the first night and watched the ferries come and go. Friday we were finnally able to pull into our reserved slip for the Lats and Atts party and as you might expect it was a wonderful time as usuall. We even managed to get a nasty note posted on the boardwalk at the marina! The big news is that Isabella is now the keeper of the best decorated boat contest for this year! Well in actuallity we were second but our freinds on Puddle Pirate refused the title since they are leaving for the south pacific so Isabella was next in line. ILL TAKE IT! After spending $100.00 on raffle tickets and still not winning anything I was excited to take the prize! The crossing home was uneventful and Sharon experimented with cooking underway turing out a great tasting hot lunch in the middle of the straights! All in all a very successful trip and definatley one to remember.
