Early Morning Trip to Town

Joel and I both had dentist appointments yesterday so we left at first light. It was one of those cold clear winter days, very little wind. We watched the sun come up behind Orcas Island with a lovely sunrise.
Coming home that afternoon the wind had picked up from the north which in this time of year with the sun really low in the sky makes the waves a gorgeous navy blue color. We passed the mailboat on its way out.

  1. Margaret - it must be so exciting living on a small island and having to travel everywhere by boat. Are you ever seasick?

  2. I used to get a bit seasick if the the boat was rolling sideways rather than going up and down, and when I was pregnant. But I seem to have outgrown that over the years.

  3. Plus, I'd so much rather be out in a boat even in rough weather than on the freeway in any weather.

  4. I found your blog trough Siri's and I living in the San Juans too, it's a very fun read. Thank you for that. Also how about this weather we're having now? Darn near blew us away last night.
