We spent two great days in Friday Harbor before moving on yesterday to Garrison Bay. Weather so far has been ideal with excellent sailing every day. Spent last night at anchor. There are 25 or so boats anchored up in here but plenty of room. Biggest lesson learned so far???  hmmmm.  I think it's that there is no such thing as a dog that doesn't shed! hahaha. Put a 45-pound Golden Doodle puppy in a small space for days on end and you get HAIR. Besides that, though, and we couldn't have asked for a better boat dog. He's doing great with the sailing, dinghying—basically everything.  Today we're heading up the Haro Straight to Stuart Island, Prevost Harbor. More later.  —Sean,'Jo, and Bosun
