Another amazing day in the outdoor wonderland of Orcas Island. Today was mainly whale watching day. Normally that is when me and my mean friends point and laugh at fat chicks. We departed on a boat docked about 100 yards from our door, very convenient. This is out current home from the water. We went out with Captain Dick and saw Orca whales, seals, sea lions, and lots of bald eagles. It was glorious. We apparently saw what is possibly the oldest whale in the world. They call her Granny and she is 103 years young. She still gets around like a whale half her age. After that we had a delicious dinner of fresh fish and then drove to the state park on the island, Moran State Park. We were scoping out activities for later this week. Estimating drive time, etc… the sun does not go down until 10pm, so we had time to spare. We ended up staying in the park meandering around until sundown. We drove to the peak, Mt Constitution, spectacular, and then on the drive back down stopped for a quick hike out to some waterfalls. This is from the peak, I hope to hike to this later in the week. Then it was home and rest. Tomorrow we have to pack up and leave this little home on the water. We are spending the next few nights in another location. It is only a couple miles away, but that is our punishment for waiting too long to book somewhere to stay.

Quite an amazing view to wake up to in the morning. Once I push my BEMHO to the side, this is what I see.
