Stick Art

Tuesday Aug 23^rd – After spending the last few days at a docks, we decided to head out of Friday Harbor for some anchor time.  Our first destination was Indian Cove on Shaw Island.  Having never been there before we scouted the area for a good anchorage.  There was only one other boat anchored in the bay so we had our pick.

After getting settled in we all jumped in the dinghy for exploration and beach time.  We made a narrow shallow passage in the dinghy not fit for a big boat.  It was fun, the water was running fast, whisking us through the channel.   After exploring the outskirts of the island we made our way to the beach.  The kids played in the sand while Julie and I relaxed.

We had an amazing quiet night anchored in beautiful bay with only one other boat.

The next day we set off for another anchorage at Spencer Spit.  The wind started whipping up some be we were able to get snugged in on the lee side of the spit.  We decided to spend the evening on the beach as the sun went down.  Ava made a fantastic work of art out of a bunch of sticks she found on the beach.  It took her a long time and she was so proud of her creation.  As the sun went down into a beautiful sunset we made our back to the boat for another relaxing night at anchor.
