Happy times...
Mike took this shot coming out of Anacortes, just before entering Swinomish Channel. Don't I look proud of myself? Note all the electronic gizmos on the dash.
I can't believe how great the
Once we got to Friday Harbor, it was HOT - about 85F but it felt like 105F in the sun. I hit the bead store (don't remember the name but I'll look it up) and the yarn store - Island Wools. The poor woman inside was just plain wistful, because everyone was looking in the window and saying "It's too hot to knit!" (the clerk did giggle and perk up when I started answering them with "NO IT'S NOT!!")
Anyhoo, when we got back to the boat and were trying to open more windows, that's when I went out the door with a spectacular pratfall, landing on my upper lip and nose. sigh...
And I will need to have surgery. I had the appointment with the surgeon this morning, and after much dithering, we decided to have the surgery up here. We'll stay in a hotel tonight, have the surgery early tomorrow, be back in the hotel tomorrow night and we'll be back on the boat in time to see the fireworks on Thursday.
I've already put in my order for a tiara. I intend to be Queen of the Boat. The Roketman? Queen's Consort and Chief Cabana Boy.

Bummer...
Janice, it's a ruptured Achilles tendon. sigh...
It's not too badly ruptured, just needs to be fixed NOW or it won't heal right ever. And this is my GOOD leg!
Crud Ruth! I kept thinking that all of the dpns would keep you out of surgery.
ok...I"ll just say this: You have my undying admiration for not letting this intrude upon your journey. Talk about trouper! or is that trooper? whatever - you are not only Queen of the Boat, you are are Queen of the Positive Attitude.
