Sail

Tomorrow we set sail on a 42' trimaran to a few of the 178 San Juan Islands. Or actually there may be more. From the New York Times:

"No one seems to agree on how many islands there actually are in the San Juans; there may be as few as 175 or as many as 786. The lower number represents those islands large enough to have been named, while the larger number includes all of the islands, rocks, and reefs that poke above the water at the lowest possible tide. Of all these islands, only four (San Juan, Orcas, Lopez, and Shaw) are serviced by the Washington State Ferries, and of these, only three (San Juan, Orcas, and Lopez) have anything in the way of tourist accommodations."

I've never been to Sucia, but it is entirely a State Park with a well-protected anchorage. And I need to get an application completed tomorrow, so I will be quite busy and probably not write for a few days. I will be leaving the laptop at home. And we are taking Magilla, so you will probably hear how she does on the water as a sailing dog.
