Patos Island

Kevin's mom flew in this week to hang out with us for a few days before we leave for Alaska, so we thought we'd show her the boat and some of our favorite spots in the San Juan Islands. Yesterday morning we headed for Patos Island (that's Patos there in the distance):

We grabbed a mooring ball and headed out to the lighthouse to stretch our legs a bit. Airship from the trail:

After our walk out to the the lighthouse we took the dinghy for a little spin. A huge bald eagle landed out on the lighthouse as we were rounding the point:

Once back at the boat we had a little decktop happy hour and then we grilled up some zucchini and fresh halibut topped with a dill creme fraiche. Delicious. The sunset wasn't bad either:
