| Departing Kingston |
 |
| Passing Camano Island |
With a break in the weather we left Port of Kingston at 6:30am on Kathy’s birthday (Wednesday, Sept. 28th). Visibility was 1 mile and the winds were 5-10 knots out of the east. The ferries out of Kingston and Mukilteo had already begun their morning runs. Leaving the Olympic Peninsula was a milestone in our travels as we headed off to Whidbey Island, a sister island to Fidalgo Island, home of Anacortes (our new Northwest home). We arrived in Oak Harbor at 12:55pm after a beautiful and chilly morning (44 degrees). Mount Baker appeared out of the east for the first time over the fog bank. Once in Anacortes, Baker will be our view from the boat – a daily reminder of the beauty and power of nature. It is so incredible here in the Northwest.

| Oak Harbor Departure |
Oak Harbor is home to Naval Air Station Whidbey Island and jets rumble overhead all day and into the evening. The highlights of Oak Harbor were the many Great Blue Herons and Oyster Catchers, the monofilament recycling station, and the picnic areas built into the guest docks themselves. Off to La Conner!
