It is only fitting that I fire up this blog again after visiting with our friends Jim and Joan in Friday Harbor.  Jim is a diligent blogger, Jim's Blog and so is inspiring me to give it another try. 

We have been up here for a few days in Friday Harbor enjoying some exquisite weather.

On Wednesday we flew in from Seattle with Kenmore Air

Yesterday we spent part of the day running down to Cattle Pass on Jim's boat

We unexpectedly saw a Minke whale swim in front of with no chance to get a photo, but a beautiful calm day out there.

Today we rented road bikes to ride back down to Cattle Pass, here is a shot of the lighthouse at the bottom of San Juan Island.

On the return we detoured off to False Bay for the requisite "selfie"

Some very picturesque country out there

Tomorrow we will take a kayak out from Friday Harbor down to Turn Island, a small preserve just to the south, expecting the same glorious weather that we had today.
