Weather: Sunny and mild. Winds: Light and variable. Seas: Nil.
First trip to someplace new together, decided to take Kelly to Roche Harbor as it has a few unique customs. Meandered through the islands via Thatcher Pass then north of Shaw Island, through the Wasp Islands, across the San Juan Channel and into Roche. Sailed when we could, motored when we had to. Kelly spent a lot of time on the port ama just staring at the scenery. Saw a bald eagle, dolphin, harbor seals and sea lions. Anchored in Roche, off of the Customs Dock. Dead calm in the harbor.
Could not tell if the anchor light was on so Kelly cranked me up...and yes, it was on. Kelly was amused by the sunset ceremony at Roche. First, they played the theme from "The Bridge over the River Kwai." Then, "Oh Canada" and finally "The Star Spangled Banner." At sunset, a cannon was shot and "Taps" played. I think the air horns after the cannon startled Kelly more than the cannon.
Beautiful evening and night...the dogs were left at a sitter's!
