Got up this a.m. and watched the otters swimming by and the boats going out. It’s over cast but we do have some blue sky. Planes and helicopters taking the people out touring. Big ship coming in, I thought it was a cruise ship but Dave said it’s the ferry. The cruise ships don’t come into harbor.
Was able, this morning to get on the internet, Dave could yesterday but I couldn’t, no big deal, just enjoying the views here. Bald Eagle just sitting out there in the mud flats, Dave getting pictures. As we were leaving the campsite, on the tsunami warning siren, was another big bald eagle, on the way back there were 2 bald eagles. We drove down the spit to get a look at the ferry and Dave was wrong. It is a Holland American cruise ship that had come in. The school buses were lining up to pick up the passengers, it was time to get away from the town. Lots of people were going to be hanging around. We wanted some firewood, should have gotten it at Linda and Vaughn’s, we saw a place on our drive in a little before Anchor Point. The place had firewood $10, 15, 20, 25 and $30.00 bundles and it was on an honor system. We got the $25 and it filled up the back of the jeep. We came back to the campsite and unloaded the wood. We then drove back into town and went to the Farmers Market that was going on. I got some Jalapeno-Habanero Apple Jam, and Dave got Kettle Corn, much safer as he says.
Then we went cruising around checking out the area. While driving I saw a sign for Wine Tasting so we went and checked it out. Nice little place it was a bed and breakfast too. Most of the wines they had were with fruit in them, I only tried a couple since I was driving. Dave ended up buying a bottle of Port now we need to go get some good chocolate to eat when we drink the Port.
We were getting a little hungry then so we headed back to the RV. But first, I know you are getting sick of reading this but it was geo caching time. There was one hidden at the Mormon Church on the way back so we stopped and found it. Back at the RV we had some cheese, salami and crackers for lunch. Got out our books and relaxed. Plan on staying for a week and it ain’t that big of a town so investigate slowly.
This afternoon there were 5 people on horses running them up and down the beach, while the tide was out. Around 4pm the otters were back out in front of us just playing and having a good time. Matt came over and invited us over for halibut dinner, can’t pass that up. It is what he caught last week.
Before heading out for Matt’s house just watching the otters out there playing 2 very large bald eagles fly right in front of the RV and I couldn’t get the camera out fast enough to get both. 1 came back and landed on the mud and I got pictures of it flying and landing. Darn Dave pulled the chip out and the camera wasn’t focused on the landing so will have to try again later. The one of it soaring in front came out great. It’s Dave’s camera and I’m learning how to use it.
Great dinner at Connie and Matt’s. Halibut, baked potatoes, corn on the cob and salad. After dinner we used the fire wood we bought today and made a fire. Set up chairs, had cake for dessert and just relaxed. It is well after 10pm and you don’t even realize it, it is still light outside and the kids are flying kites, running around and the otters are still out, amazing.
It is now 10:30pm, Connie and Matt went home, and Dave and I are going to still sit by the fire. Had to do a quick update, and bathroom break. Still can’t believe how many people are outside.
