We took the quadcopter and hiked out to the lighthouse on Alden Point for some more fun aerial footage. Oh hey seals! In this photo, there's one seal looking straight up at the copter. You might have to click for an enlargement, but it's pretty cute. Another cove-side campsite (Patos…

This morning as we were working and having coffee, I noticed out the back window what looked like a pretty big boat heading toward the cove. This is a pretty small cove (only two mooring buoys), and this boat seemed, um, large. It showed up on AIS as a vessel…

Roche Harbor this morning was frosty cold and sunny! We went up to the Lime Kiln Cafe for a little breakfast, and then filled up the water tank on Airship before heading out. Frost on the Flemish Flake (look mom, just like grandpa taught me!): We decided to go to…

This morning we got up early and worked a bunch, had some breakfast, and then decided to take one more quick walk up the hill into town before heading for Port Townsend. Langley is such a cute town, even in the drizzly gray. On the way out of the marina,…

This morning we got up early and after a shower and a quick breakfast we said goodbye to LaConner (above) and headed toward Coupeville, a small wharf town in Penn Cove on Whidbey Island. Crumpled shack on the way out of the Swinomish Channel: Bald eagle hanging out on a…
