A Gorgeous But Windy Day

Our friends, Steve and Sheryl are visiting from Denver, and on Saturday we were to go boating with Brad and Sheryl. The plan was to leave Bellingham early afternoon and have dinner in Anacortes.
The sun was shining, however; the wind was blowing. So our captain decided we should have a drink and snacks, wait an hour and see if the wind died down.
It did not.
We were also worried about the return trip.





As other boaters came in, Capt. Brad would run out and ask them how the water was... they were all so happy to be back to land that we changed our plans.


I think our plan B was pretty great too. Hubby and I took Steve and Sheryl for a walk in Boulevard Park and to Fairhaven. Brad and Sheryl picked up some salmon and clams and drove to Birch Bay where they whipped up a fantastic dinner on the deck.



Sheryl, Sheryl and I were friends in college. We were wishing that Linda could have joined us too. Lots of laughs and I think we may have convinced our husbands that we were good girls at college. Sheryl brought her college album along from Denver and there were many nice pics of us all dressed up to go to church.
It has been so much fun reconnecting with Sheryl and meeting Steve this weekend. I love it when I haven't seen a friend for years and we jump right in for a great time.

I heard it was choppy from uncle Jack and thought of you. Glad you were safe in the harbor!
