Andrew’s Bay

Posted on August 25, 2025 by Lindsey

We invited some friends to join us on Andrew’s Bay the weekend before Labor Day. We took the boat out Saturday night and stayed overnight. Our friends joined us for a full day on Sunday. In all, there were six families and we had an amazing time on the water!


 

 

Laura was brave and tried a local boater’s foil. It looks hard to master!

Roche Harbor

Posted on August 17, 2025 by Lindsey

After two days at Sucia, we headed to my favorite bougie-quaint spot, Roche Harbor. We were there one night, just long enough to do all our favorite things.

It’s always fun to walk to the Mausoleum

Heading home

Kieron did the driving while we waited at the Locks, keeping the boat in place and eventually docking us on the wall. They are preserving water right now, so since we were the only boat there, we had to wait an hour to see if anyone else showed up before they would let us through.

He did such a good job, Jonathan decided to let him drive us through the locks and on and off the wall! He did amazing and stayed calm and cool. We were so proud of him!

Sucia

Posted on August 13, 2025 by Lindsey

After the kids wrapped up sailing camp, we left from Bellingham and headed to Sucia to unplug for a couple of nights. It’s a beautiful island with several “fingers”, making for lots of fun shoreline and nooks and crannies to explore. There isn’t much there aside from a couple of docks, a lot of trails and some composting potties. It’s a busy place for boaters who want an environment that feels more remote and less developed.

The kids discovered a large family of playful otters.

This is the otter’s home





Lots of boats anchored





We finally broke out the BBQ



Lots of driftwood here

We thought this cool rock looked like an eagle

Bellingham Visit

Posted on August 10, 2025 by Lindsey

We enjoyed hanging out in Bellingham while Silas and Layla were in sailing camp. We got together with Nicole a few times!  Here we are at Boundary Bay Brewery for probably the last time. After 30 years they are closing their doors.






Mallard ice cream!

Sailing camp homework


We got matching LFS sweatshirts




Good morning, Bellingham Bay!

Went out for drinks with Nicole at Orion

We checked out Avery’s dorm building, Ridgeway Kappa


Happy Hour at a new brewery, Beach Cat

We all went to Trackside Beer Garden for dinner one evening. This used to be the site of the old, stinky paper mill that ran while Jonathan and I were in college. I love what they’ve done with it!






We visited our old neighbors, Tom and Nicole and walked down to the beach together

Sailing Camp

Posted on August 9, 2025 by Lindsey

Silas and Layla attended a week-long sailing camp in Bellingham in early August. It was a windy week, and some days it even rained, but they were troopers and enjoyed the whole experience. We decided to make a trip out of the camp, so the weekend prior, Jonathan and Kieron brought Everlong to Bellingham and Silas, Layla and I stayed on board the whole week of camp. It was nice walking the short distance up the dock to the Yacht Club each morning. During the day I would walk to town and on the way back I/we watched them sailing in the bay for a while. We spent the evenings in town and on the boat. I’m happy to report Silas and Layla both caught the sailing bug and want to do more camps next year. We couldn’t be more thrilled!
