Summer was out in full force yesterday (Saturday), the temperatures got up into the 80s and we just couldn't focus on all the items on our "to do list". So we got in the boat and headed north towards Poulsbo. On the way up Colvos Passage we passed our neighbors, Josi and George, coming southbound. They were returning from their 3-week vacation to the US and Canadian San Juans. They took the picture that accompanies this post. We pulled into the Port of Poulsbo Marina around 4 PM and walked over to The Loft restaurant. We had a nice dinner of fish and chips and beers on the deck under a sun umbrella. We headed home about 6PM. When we got to the east end of Rich Passage we saw a small runabout with four guys in it, paddling. They reported that their battery had died and they were trying to get to Manchester, about 3 miles to the south. We took them under tow, and delivered them to the boat ramp at Manchester about a half hour later. We silently wished them luck in getting the boat out of the water - they were more than a little under the influence themselves, and in response to their offer to pay us for the tow, we commended them to pay it forward in the future. We returned to the buoy about 7PM and settled in for the evening. Life is good!
