I was wondering...Thanks for dropping by Katherine. I was wondering how you were just recently. Nice to hear from you. We are not very far from John Wayne Marina at all, maybe 5 miles. <br /><br />Its always a gamble, isn't it, when you are on the water. It can look as calm and peaceful out as can be and then next thing you know things are going topsy turvy. Sorry to hear about the loss of you dishes ... but glad you are ok. Dishes can be replaced.<br /><br />We sold our boat just prior to moving here. We talk about a smaller boat to fish from and maybe be able to spend a night on, but nothing definite as of yet. As you well know, " There is nothing, absolutely nothing half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats"<br /><br />Take care ....Nancy Van Blaricomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17030893675129815727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34303509.post-17693486875555557092016-10-18T15:00:41.792-07:002016-10-18T15:00:41.792-07:00Nice painting, Nancy! I haven't been out paint...Nice painting, Nancy! I haven't been out painting en plein air in so long, I'm afraid I would leave most of the essentials behind. You improvised well and have a good painting, too. <br /><br />I thought of you when we turned west into the Strait of Juan de Fuca last month and went in to Sequim Harbor to check out John Wayne marina. Are you far from there? It was a calm day and the water in the strait was flat (just the way I like it). Earlier that week, we'd been on the anchor near Port Townsend when a big wind storm came in, with winds from the south at 30 kt and wind waves at 4-5 feet. Eek. We lifted the anchor and pulled into the marina at Port Townsend safely, but it was a very rough ride. I lost many dishes and cups that day. Hope you're enjoying your new location. Sounds like you're enjoying new landscapes there.Katherine van Schoonhovenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16856296773149274225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34303509.post-38752262313450023482016-10-10T09:32:44.240-07:002016-10-10T09:32:44.240-07:00Donna thank you so much.
