We left Port Townsend on Tuesday morning, July 21 and headed over to Widbey Island and then to the town of Anacortes to meet up with our friends. We drove the coach with car attached onto the ferry for the 25 minute ride across Puget Sound. Better than a long drive around the sound that would have taken the better part of a day!!!Our friends were all waiting for us and were glad that we were finally there.
Waisting no time the next morning we were off again. We took the ferry boat over to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands. As you can see by the second photo that it was a little foggy on the ride over but turned out to be a great day. Friday Harbor is a cute little town so the girls took off and did some shopping until lunch. We were headed back to meet at the restaurant when we were told of a seal that lives in the harbor that has one eye and is pregnant so we were off to see "Popeye". It seems that Popeye had lived in the harbor there for some 20 years and a local legend. They have even had a statue put in the park for her. She has a baby every so often but always returns to the harbor. She was very friendly and was looking for food so Sandy and Fred bought some herring and fed her, she was a very happy seal.
We had a great lunch and then headed back to catch the ferry back to Anacortes.
We will be here in Anacortes until about
August 26th and begin our journey home with more stops along the way.That is all for today..... love and miss you all.
Candy and Johnny
