Journey to Princess Louisa - Day 13 at Roche Harbor

Today was a very relaxed day with no agenda at all. We took our time getting up and about and then Bob and I walked down to visit with Sue and Al at their boat. We discovered Jack and Al sitting in chairs relaxing (Bob was quick to join them) and there was Sue busy polishing the boat rails! Something is really wrong with this picture!


Bob and I have come to Roche Harbor twice before and I've never been able to find the geocache that is hidden by the bocce court. It is always really busy and even though we tried both times, we've never been able to find it. Sue went with me today and we got a good reading on my gps. Sue quickly found it and I was able to add it to my count. I'm now at 57 caches found but I've got a long way to go to catch up with people who have tens of thousands!

 
Bob, Sue and I took our kayaks and paddled around the marina and to a nearby bay. The wind was so strong against us that we decided to turn around and come back. Wouldn't you know it - the wind changed and was against us all the way back. It was a lot like "When I was a kid, I walked to school uphill - both ways"! We used our own kayaks but the first time Bob and I came to Roche Harbor we took a kayaking tour through the resort. They have a great assortment of kayaks and when we took our class, we were the only ones in the class. Our guide took us on a longer trip than usual and we had a lot of time for conversation. If you are at Roche Harbor, I highly recommend you either use your kayaks or take a kayak trip.

Tonight was the night to use up the food on our boats. Al and Sue's slip was right next to the party barge which was not in use while we were here (fortunately!). We gathered there for our dinner and had another fun time.
