Island Hop

The final long weekend of the summer is Labour Day and is always dreaded by students because the following day is the start of school.  This is good news for us because it means the city quiets down abit, and the camping grounds finally empty out and the ferry lineups die down.  Lucky for us, we were able to take another boat trip up to the secret island spot, here are a few highlights.  As always, a huge thank you to BK and family for hosting.

A barn is a real home:

Typical of the Pacific Northwest, we got a mix of glassy water, squalls, thunderstorms, clear sunny breaks – all of it was lovely, especially when you can chill in a place like this:

Never a shortage of good eats.  Thanks for the incredible nabe (hotpot) Sisley!

At least one clam-digging mission is mandatory per trip – it also gives us a chance to walk through the community and check out the neighbors great spots.

On the way home, a much needed break in the Pirate’s Cove – the Captain here throwing down the anchor:

Can’t wait for the next trip…
