Monday, 14May2012: Friday Harbor to Roche Harbor

Weather:  Hot and sunny.  Winds:  North 0-5kts.  Seas:  <1ft.

Started with a nice northerly breeze and we beat northwards, averaging 8kts and hitting 10 just before tacking NW at Lopez Island.  Winds dropped as we continued north.  Winds became NE and light entering Spieden Channel.  Broke out the spinnaker...need more practice.

Roche Harbor was unseasonably hot, but empty.  Moored at the transient dock and kept the amas out!  Kelly got to see the flag ceremony for the first time.  Because Qatar is sensitive to loud noises, I kept the dogs behind the grocery building while Kelly watched the ceremony.
