Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! While my daughter Roxanne and her husband, Ingo, prepare to vacation in Australia for the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, Dick and I are getting the most out of our time in the Pacific Northwest. Dick and I sailed Last Resort over to San Juan Island, Washington, for the Thanksgiving holiday to connect with our terrific buddies, Mary and Lou Aubert.
The Auberts ‘fronted us’ into their friends, Danny and Meghan’s, house for just about the most elegant, elaborate Thanksgiving spread I think I’ve ever had! Danny is a professional chef and the feast lived up to his reputation.
The next day we moved the boat from Friday Harbor to Roche Harbor, where we attended the Island Stage Left repertory company’s presentation of "Jacob Marley's Christmas Carol" - a different take on Dickens' classic tale. Four incredibly gifted actors played various roles to tell the famous story of Scrooge’s redemption as seen from Marley’s perspective.
We took advantage of Roche’s broad, high dock to give Last Resort a good scrubbing. She hasn’t been washed since Juneau, several months ago. Dick rigorously polished, shined, scraped and toiled until darkness fell. I absolutely could NOT keep up with him! We motored back “home” to Sidney, B.C., today (November 30th), through a dense, heavy fog.

Happy Thanksgiving - great to hear about your latest adventures! We spent Thanksgiving in Grants Pass Oregon and then headed to Longbeach, WA before making our way to Seattle what a great road trip it was! Hope you are both well!
