Friday Harbor to Spencer Spit, Lopez Island 1 ¼ hours 7 miles

We left Friday Harbor around 9am, and it didn’t take long to get to Spencer Spit, our next moorage. It’s on Lopez Island, and has a long beach peninsula with a cove on each side. We took the dinghy into shore, and had to take our shoes off and hop ankle deep in the water to get on shore. We then walked up the beach a while looking for sea glass. Heather found a couple of pieces, and Merlin kept picking up random pieces of driftwood, etc. Including a spine of a small animal. Blech!! I bagged it to take back and show Fred. This cove is full of crabbers coming and going on their small boats, which means we almost have constant wake. Poor Heather wasn’t feeling so hot when we got back because of this, but we all had lunch. That helped a little. Fred was reading up on the topside of the boat, so Heather went up there and laid on one of the bench seats for a while. We got up and I made pork chops, rice and broccoli for dinner and we both felt a little better afterwards. During dinner we watched the news out of Vancouver. And they actually had a LONG segment on the NHL, Heather was in heaven.
