More reasons to cruise the San Juan Islands in the winter: We met up with friends Carol and Park on Akeeva (the Nordhavn 50 that went to Alaska with us this past summer) and had a nice visit last night. Loving this weather!

We finally got back up to Airship AND the weather was cooperative (unlike the week we spent aboard in October), so we headed up to Sucia Island for a couple nights while the sun was shining and the wind was calm. Winter cruising is so great up in this area.…
