Anacortes

Today we went to Costco in Burlington and tried very hard to buy everything in sight.  We would up with two shopping carts and lots of good stuff.  From meat & cheese to engine oil.  The boat was waxed and carpets cleaned yesterday.  She looks great.  We spent the afternoon putting supplies away.  This is not the fun part of cruising.  It looks like we will be splashed tomorrow morning on the high tide.  We hope to have a slip at the North Harbor docks to get systems online.  When I asked what time we need to be at the boat in the morning to help I was asked "do you mind if we just do early and tie it up at the dock?"  Are you kidding, of course not.  High tide will be quite early apparently.    Dianna said to come in at 10-11 am.  No problem.  As we were leaving the boat she was being washed again to remove any residue from the waxing.  We had the dinghy engine serviced and someone was busy washing that boat as well before it goes back on Emerald Star. 

After working so hard we went out to dinner to Anthony's Cabana.  It is the relaxed outdoor restaurant next to Anthony's.  It just opened 6 weeks ago.  Beautiful way to end the day.  The mahi mahi tacos were delicious.
