After the fog lifted at Port Ludlow this morning, we made a 45-mile run south into Hood Canal to Twanoh State Park, where we're now hooked on a mooring buoy a little offshore of the park.  It was sunny and hot (for the Seattle area, anyway -- 79 degrees), and the water here is 70 degrees, unlike Puget Sound where it's 50. The snow-capped Olypmic Mountains were out in all their glory, and there are hardly any boaters in Hood Canal, in part, we're told, because there are so few protected anchorages and only one place to get gas, just west of Alderbrook Resort, where the price today was $5.19/gallon. We used our propane barbecue grill mounted above the swim step to cook dinner tonight and are enjoying a glass of wine as we watch the sun go down.  Life is good.
