We took Everlong to Blake Island in March for our first overnight trip. Blake Island is about 10 miles southwest of Seattle and was a logical (and fun) place to try first. Here we are heading through the Ballard Locks.

When we came through Shilshole, we went through a sailboat race

Happy sea dog

We’re here!

The island is full of raccoons! In fact, you can’t leave ANY food out or doors unlocked, as they will come aboard and help themselves to anything they please.

The kids had a great time exploring in the dinghy

Aaargh, triscuits!

First family dinner aboard

Breakfast!

We saw orcas! What a wonderful surprise!

Heading back through the locks
