Visiting Cruising Friends in Friday Harbor









After several years of promises we finally made it up to Friday Harbor in the San Juan Islands of Washington to visit some cruising friends we met in Menorca.

They sailed on Gambit - a custom made catamaran from South Africa - which we visited in Roche Harbor while there.

Michael, Don and I had an anniversary drink at "our table" where we met 30 years ago.

Don and Sue Leff's oldest daughter, Joanna, was away at college but the youngest (not so young anymore), Rebecca, was home and she challenged Michael to many a ping pong game.

They also have a nice young Swedish girl, Emma, as a foreign exchange student at the moment.

Saturday we went to the girls soccer game - they won!

On Sunday we explored the island a bit and climbed up to Mt. Young and saw the incredible views. Walked down to English Camp, the West side lighthouse and Roche Harbor. San Juan Island is still a lovely place to be.

On Monday we got in line for the ferry early then spent time walking around downtown Friday Harbor with Don and Sue.

Had a wonderful trip!
