All pictures
| Unfortunately these pictures side by side are wider than the settings that most people have for their monitor. Sorry... The good thing is that the pictures are bigger, the bad thing is that you have to scroll around. | |

| Some dinghy exploring while the fish is cooking. | Our first (and last) sunset. | |
|
|
|
| Coffee prep the next morning. | ||
|
|
|
| These guys were coffee junkies. Makes sense cuz they were from the Northwest. | Our next night was in Friday Harbor. | |
|
|
|
| Looking out the hatch in Friday Harbor. | We're heading off to Stewart Island. Weather doesn't look good at all. | |
|
|
|
| Rain.. kind of novelty for me but no one else thought much of it. | The rain made me miss the Northwest. | |
|
|
|
| Dick looking more cheerful than usual. | Mona reviewing the chart that Dick would insist should be in the cockpit at all times. | |
|
|
|

|
| Antares on the bouy in Reid. Took this picture during my hike. | Andy plotting the next day's course. | |
|
|
|
| Berthing practice. When we came here later in the year, these tie-ups were completely full. | ||
|
|
|
| Approach practice. Notice the intent expressions. | Mona trying to stay calm. She's next. | |
|
|
|
| Nothing to worry about though. She was masterful. | Roche | |
|
|
|
| The harbor stores at Roche. | The Roche grocery store. We came later in the year and it was very crowded. | |
|
|
|
| Antares parked at Roche. | A small ferry. | |
|
|
|
| A larger ferry... | ...making it's approach to the dock. | |
|
|
|
| Mona and Dick (team yellow) in charge. | Rain in Sucia. It rained hardest here. I loved it. | |
|
|
|
| Rain | More rain. | |
|
|
|
| Dick grading our last test. We all passed! | Echo Bay. These rock fingers were amazing. | |
|
|
|
| Echo Bay | More Echo Bay. It was so quiet after the rain. I miss this about the Northwest. | |
|
|
|
| This was just incredibly gorgeous. | Me looking for something to take a picture of. Everyone else was below deck. | |
|
|
|
| Drying our foul weather gear. | Sunshine the next morning. | |
|
|
|
| Andy coming back from his morning constitutional. He was the most regular person I've ever known. | Mona emerging to the sunshine. | |
|
|
|
| And we leave the Sucia Islands behind us. | Mona managing the chart. | |
|
|
|
| Sails up! It was fun, there was actually wind on the way back. We motored anyway. | Andy with Bellingham in the background. | |
