The Summer has fast approached with it being only April but experiencing lovely sunny days both in Bellingham and on Bainbridge Island. Alas Joel and I knew the day was coming however it did not make it much easier to say our goodbyes for the summer with only a few days over the next 5 months that our paths will cross. However we are thinking we have enough great memories and wide open time for further adventures ahead of us that the time will fly by and we will be once again "cruising together". Joel continues on in Bellingam preparing the Alaskan Song for it's summer of cruising and I on Bainbridge Island on the Alaskan Story, lucky for me right down the road from my aunt and uncle Greg and Betsy. My duties have thus far included washing and waxing the whole 96 ft yacht- and let me tell you I though it was bad enough waxing my car let alone this boat- the bright side is the boat looks pretty good and well my scrubbing muscles will be fine tuned machines by the end of the summer. It has been nice falling asleep to the sound of the ocean every night, running the whaler around the bay, and soon to learn what I can about engines all sorts of engines- the scrubbing was second nature:). Joel and I will both be on our way North within the next few weeks with more adventures and stories to tell once we arrive I'm sure.
