A Lovely Weekend

We left for La Conner last Thursday for a yacht club outing and decided to take Hank this time.  We normally leave him with a sitter but since we planned to be at a marina the entire time, the potty trips were not an issue.  He must be showing his 7 years as he did very well and soon settled into boat life and the meeting and greeting of other dogs and humans.   He is out like a light tonight so must not have gotten in his normal nap times, but it was fun to have him with us and the weather was perfect.  You can see his accommodations are quite adequate!

We had a bit of drama.  When we got to the marina we discovered a line coming from the end of our boat...not our line.  BJ tried to free it but could not get it unstuck.  We must have crossed over a crab pot line on the way over.  Shortly after, another boat came in and the owner asked about our problem and he said he had a wet suit and a tank and that if we needed help he was available.  BJ soon took him up on the offer and after a short dive the guy came up with the most tangled line that had been wrapped around our skeg and propeller.  It's amazing that we did not lose power after seeing the amount of line that had been cut away.   We invited him and his wife over afterward to visit and had the best time getting to know each other.   Clearly one of those divine intervention moments.
