Deer Harbor

From Echo Bay Kadizzle and Stroupini buzzed down to Deer Harbor.  Deer Harbor is a very scenic little bay where we docked. Our great goal was to have a nice breakfast. As luck would have it the near by food establishments were closed. As Stroupini took care of some business Kadizzle walked half mile down the road to a place that was supposed to be open, it was not.  Kadizzle decided to hitch hike to Orcas for breakfast. The plan was to call Stroupini and have him do the same thing.  Not going to work.  Kadizzle was picked up immediately and headed on his way, but there was no phone service. The locals were very kind and zipiti do da Kadizzle was in Orcas.  Getting hold of Stroupini finally it turned out Stroupini did not want to ride over to Orcas.  Kadizzle had his expensive meal and returned by shank's mare.  The fruit trees on the Island are abundant, and Kadizzle was able to eat wonderful ripe plums while he waited for a ride.  Most of the San Juan Islands are populated with people suffering from acute prosperity.  Seeing the homes and boats is fun.  The well to do know how to keep the riff raff at bay, and there is no better way than putting water between the rich and the poor.

Darch the only member of the Crazy Club from Canada sailed into Deer Harbor on his catamaran.  It was great to see Darch and our whole crew including Kathrin, and her friend Nancy took a very nice hike on the Island.  On the hike again we enjoyed fresh pears and apples picked from the trees.  Back at the docks we had a beer.  Darch came over from his moored yacht at six and picked us up for dinner. What a wonderful dinner it was with wine and friends.  After some singing, and lying Stoupini and Kadizzle talked Darch into being the Canadian ambassador for the Crazy Club.  We returned to the ship for a good nights sleep.  Up in the morning we bought coffee and headed out early for Port Townsend.  Darch sailed nearby headed to Ancortes.  Back at Port Townsend by one the  whole trip was pleasant and well worth while.
