We arrived in Anacortes on the 17th to visit our friend Pete and Linda Harbers (Beaver owners and rv'ers). The club they belong to has property on the water with 3 rv spots. This was our view and no one else was camping there. It was really a nice place. There is a park adjacent to this property so deer regularly visit the property.The deer below wandered thru right next to the coach and the cats kept their eyes on him as he walked by.
Sunday there was a market and car show in downtown Anacortes and Terry in particular liked this Z06 - Atomic Orange. He also liked the license plate. They had some great cars and he got the owner of the 57 chevy to crank it up!! What a trip.
It was a beautiful car and paint job and what a sound!!
It had 450 horse power with some kind of boost to give it another 100 hp!! Wanna drag???
Next we took a drive along the island and went across Deception Pass (the only bridge to Whidbey Island which is the largest island in the San Juans). There are actually two bridges and this is just a shot of the second bridge. Yes, this is the bridge we crossed in the motorhome going to visit our friends that live on Whidbey Island, Tom and Janice Punch.
The next day we took a trip in Pete and Linda's 48' cruiser to Friday Harbor which is located on San Juan Island. It's about a 2 hr. boat ride from Anacortes. Along the way the guys had to stop to fish and try to catch some ling cod. The cod had a lenght limit of minimum 26" to around 40". Pete caught the first cod, but it was not big enough to keep. The next four fish were rock fish and the limit is one per person so we kept those and then headed on to Friday harbor for the night. We slept on the boat. There are three cabins and also plenty of sleeping space in the living room and helm. It is a very beautiful boat. They carry a small dingy on top so while the boys were paying for our moorage, Linda got the dingy down so we could go for a ride.
Above is a picture of one of Terry's rock fish.
Terry had to go out in the dingy too for a spin. Later that evening Pete and Terry went fishing in the dingy while Linda and I chilled!!
This is a picture of their boat "Harber lights" spelled like their name. Linda is on the back deck. We were getting ready to go for our spin before the boys got back from paying.
The next day we headed back and Terry went up top where the dingy is stored for traveling, and took this picture looking back. Then they stopped by the spot they fished the day before and of course Terry got his lure hung on the bottom and was reeling down to get some leverage to get it unhung and over the side of the boat he went head first. All Pete saw was legs and feet and then yelled "Man Overboard". Of course, then the action started and he came up out of the water bleeding and wanting us to save his new hat!!
Pete and Linda got him quickly into the boat, got him undressed, dried off with dry clothes, and hurried back to Anacortes. At this point we were only about 5 miles from shore. Of course, I was seasick so not much help and all the excitement just made me feel worst.

Then we had the trip to the hospital for stitches. First thing the doctor turned over the tray and had to start fresh.
He had 5 stitches and will now have a war wound to brag about. I just know our friends are going to love this story so couldn't wait to get it posted. He really had a nice shinner for the next 4 to 5 days. Today he is getting his stitches out.
He is a pretty sight, isn't he??
I told him I was going to take credit for this shinner. I think it was a iron skillet to the head!!
Linda and me going for our dingy ride!! Very fun.

Anyway he lost his glasses (again) and his phone was drowned. He can pick up his messages from my phone and he is hoping the phone will dry out enough to work again.
We'll see.
Well, until later. I have to download more pictures of our trip to Whidbey Island and hope to get that posted soon.
