Sucia Island - Day 2

Today we decided that we needed to explore some more trails on Sucia. We took the dinghy over to Fossil Cove and explored some more trails. They have a great dock with a special area for dinghies so it made it very easy to come here and access different trails.

This trip to Sucia gave us a chance to see many eagles.  As we walked along one of the trails, Bob and Jerry were startled by an eagle taking flight only 10 feet from them. They are an amazing site to behold and we did not tire of trying to get some good pictures of them. Even in great photos, there is nothing like being there and seeing them looking so regal and majestic. We decided they truly are the perfect national symbol for our country.

We had a great time enjoying the island but had a couple of humorous incidents that kept us laughing every time we thought of them. Holly had brought a bag of frozen Rhodes bread to cook for dinner. The bags contain 3 loaves and are to be thawed individually in their pans before baking. Because the cooler was not cold enough to keep them frozen, the loaves all thawed, blended together and then started to ooze out of the bag. In spite of a major "oops", the bread tasted great once we figured out how to salvage it.

The other incident fortunately did not get caught on camera. As we were leaving the dinghy, I mentioned that the davit system for the dinghy made it really easy to get out of. As soon as I stepped out of the dinghy I tripped and nearly fell to the floor of the cockpit.  It wouldn't have been so hilarious to everyone else if I hadn't just commented on how easy it was!

Following dinner we took advantage of the time left to go on one last trail. This one took us one mile around Shallow Bay and along Lawson Bluff.
