A Summer Evening in Cap Sante

[Orvil Newton]

Anacortes, Cap Sante Marina

We had originally planned to head from Friday Harbor directly to Port Townsend
but upon reaching Cattle Pass we once again found it enshrouded in fog
and decided to turn around and make for Anacortes instead.

We spent our afternoon wandering the shops and pubs and visited my favorite
store, Marine Supply and Hardware Company is said to be the oldest
marine chandlery on the West Coast (202 Commercial Drive). Hours can be
spent sifting through the salvage section as well as the chandlery
itself.

Currently sitting in the cockpit listening to the live music played every Friday night during the summer. There must be a few
hundred people sitting on the grass listening.

Heading for Port Townsend tomorrow morning. No fog reported today and hoping for the same tomorrow.

(Note by the Skipper: Saturday morning weather report - Hot, clear, no fog, no wind. Looks like a long motor across to Port Townsend)
