September 21 2009, Shilshole Bay: Cruising Plans

Summer is over. Although it is bright and sunny, there is a definite Autumn nip in the air and the shadows are getting long as the sun's arc no longer crosses the top of the sky. Laura is coming down off the frenetic pace as business slows at the end of the season and we are looking forward to spending more time together as West Marine adopts shorter hours for the Winter.

Meanwhile we have been taking full advantage of the Ballard Farmers Market, every Sunday loading up on fresh locally produced fruits, veggies, bread, cheeses and fresh and smoked salmon (Yummm!) I make two trips on my bicycle, loading my backpack full on each trip.

Our cruising plan is firming up. In November we are hoping to get back to Friday Harbor for a visit with friends there with stops along the way for fish and chips at CJ's in Port Townsend and a breakfast at Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island. Anchorages and harbors that were crowded in July are deserted after Labor Day and offer prime cruising destinations (And lower rates) for those willing to brave the colder weather. We intend to take full advantage of the opportunity.

We have begun planning for our departure from Seattle next Summer. Cruising plans are always fluid so we expect ours to change as circumstances develop. For now, however, we expect to leave Seattle in May for the San Juans, the Canadian Gulf Islands and Alaska via the Inside Passage. By next September we will be heading South and expect to stop in Monterey, possibly Avalon, Long beach and San Diego(Other stops along the coast will be dictated by whim, weather or necessity). From there we will either proceed to Mexico or maybe stop in Hawaii for a visit before we continue to French Polynesia.

I think one of the coolest ways to get down to Mexico in the Fall is signing up and doing the Baja Ha-Ha. Everyone says it's a blast and we're going to try and do it in 2011.

Sure! The only stops we are sure of at this time are Monterey and San Diego but that could change. I'll post the updates here.
