We left Saturday morning to join George and Lorna and Dave and Barb in Fossil Bay who had left the day before. It was quite the trip over I have to say, the winds were high, supposed to die down at 11am but did not. After waiting awhile we decided to head out anyway. What is normally a 35 minute run took 2 hours. Not fun! But we made it and got dock space in Fossil which was nice for a change. George thought we wouldn't cross but Dave knew we would. They reported huge rollers in the straight that morning, boats who left but came back in as it was just too rough.
We had a great afternoon sitting around the picnic table on the dock and met another nice couple who were joining us for dinner that night, Al and Rhoda on Ubique. George and Lorna had cooked a turkey the day before and we had a fabulous dinner on their boat complete with all the trimmings. Thank you so much G&L, it was super!!
Al and Rhoda are members of the Point Roberts Yacht Club some of whose members were on Sucia for their Thanksgiving/ season windup dinner, they were over at the other dock in Fossil and we were planning to meet them the next day.
Our firepit at the top of out dock which we put to good use, with lots of firewood around to burn. Behind the picnic table is the other dock in Fossil Bay which PRYC was docked.
The campsites on Sucia are incredbly scenic...
A view of beautiful Fox bay. A narrow isthmus separates Fossil and Fox Bays. There are beautiful walks and views in every directions.
Here we are heading down the winding trail to meet with the gang at PRYC. Quite a hike with the wheelbarrow full of food and supplies, liquid and otherwise...
A view out the window at the Cabana, notice there are no boats moored - I think this must be a first for the season.
Our potluck dinner in the cabana. We had another Turkey, ham, George's Turkey casserole, salads, appetizers. Just fantastic! Lots of interesting conversation too.
Campfire time, jokes and songs.What a great group of people, looks like we may have to join this Yacht Club.
We had a roaring fire, actually the first of the season because of the campfire ban.
The next morning most boats were getting ready to leave fairly early.
Invictus, Playtime, and Ubique headed out before 10, but we decided to take one last walk on the island as you never know when you'll get a chance to go back.
Treazure waiting for us, the last to head out, looks like sunset but was actually 11 am.
Thanks to all. We really enjoyed meeting you and all your interesting stories. Good Luck to Kailani who are sailing to Mexico and then on to Bermuda and finally crossing over to the Mediteranean. They have promised to keep us all informed of their adventure. It was a great weekend and I am truly thankful.
