The next morning we topped off our fuel at Friday Harbor, $5.15 a gallon (yikes!). With 1200 gallons averaging $5.00 a gallon we’re hoping it’ll last a few miles. We cruised slowly (as we’ll try to do all summer) to Roche Harbor under warm sunny skies, calm winds and beautiful scenery. Summer has finally arrived in the Northwest after a terrible winter and spring.
The RHYC outstation
slip was available, so we tucked happily in and went to the restaurant deck for lunch. This place must be one of the most picturesque marine resorts anywhere. In the afternoon we set a couple of crab pots out beside Pearl Island, took our books and the crab ring and spent a couple of hours dipping for crab in nearby Garrison Bay. Garrison Bay is the site of the English Camp during the border dispute between England and the U.S. It ended with a pig being killed, then arbitration setting the U.S./Canadian border. Glad we at least ended up with San Juan Island and Roche Harbor. Back to the crab…dipping netted us just one keeper, but found one more in one of our pots as we headed back to Reflections. Not a bad way to spend an afternoon.
The evening was beautiful and I’ve added some pictures, Nat with our crab, Colors ceremony on the dock, Reflections at our outstation and sunset from our fly bridge.
Deciding we were in no hurry we stayed here for another night. The next morning we checked our pots again after enjoying a crab omelet for breakfast. Found 4 more nice Dungeness…over 7” this time. Linda’s on the dock behind Reflections (and in front of a huge yacht checking in at Customs) with these crab.

Liz thinks you may have left one of the lines blank on the form you fill out in the administrator area where you add the links. You need to name the blog. The address allows you to link to our blog but without a name nothing will show on your site under links. name our blog miners blog and dodges blog and see if they show up that way.
I do not know how to do it from a cell phone, I use my wireless air card from verizon to connect.
I do one photo at a time. And i have found that I have to use an editing program to crop and size them and once i do that they go every time. If i do not crop them they take forever and usually do not load. Not sure why that is because cropping does not reduce the size of the file but that works for me. When they load you will get a screen shot of your page but the photo will be in hyroglyphics and it will always appear at the top of the page. You have to cut that portion of the blog out and paste it where you want the photo to appear or they will always be on top of the blog.
I do the words so i can always get that posted if the connection is slow and then i go back and put in photos. Good luck, it is a learning experience.
