Saturday, August 31 Sutherlin, OR to Anacortes, WA all day, again...

The good news is that Fred likes to drive. The bad news is that today is a college football day and we are stuck in heavy traffic from Sutherlin to past Seattle. We are all beat to s_ _ t. We are so glad to get back to Emerald Star. The batteries have remained charged and there is plenty of food in the freezer. We can go shopping tomorrow for a few things and then get off the dock ASAP.

Friday, August 30 Walnut Creek, CA to Sutherlan, OR all day...

An uneventful drive today. The weather was clear enough that the view of Mt. Shasta
was gorgeous. The usual Best Western where we stay on our travels north and south had no vacancy so we were directed 12 miles north of Roseburg, OR to Sutherlin. OR. This was the Best Western Plus Heritage Inn. It is way better than the one on Roseburg. We had the most comfortable bed ever and the breakfast included a chef to fix pancakes or omelets. It had an indoor pool and hot tub too.

Tuesday, August 13 - Jason and Kelli's Wedding

The wedding was perfect. It was held at 5:30 PM on Shipwreck Beach. The officiant gave us all our directions and there was a photographer and a videographer there too. The weather was perfect and we had a lovely sunset. We walked up the beach to the Hyatt where we had a fantastic dinner. The family was here but no other friends of Jason's or Kelli's could make it. It did not dim the joy.

Friday, August 9 to Sunday, August 25 Poipu Beach, Kauai

It is hot and humid (of course, we are in Hawaii). Heather, Jason, Kelli & Aryle want to go to the beach every day. The surf is a little to strong for my comfort so Fred & I are doing a lot of reading and sitting by the edge of the water looking at sea turtles. The catamaran trip up the Napali Coast was like a wet roller-coaster. The sea was about 6' . The captain made the wise decision to turn around and head back instead of beating us all to death.
