October 1st - STUCK In Seattle
So we sprinted out of Friday Harbor during dinner last night, and raced through the darkness to arrive in Seattle around 10 pm. Woke up and found ourselves in one of the more remote marinas. Interesting, eh? Didn't have time to do all the excursions in Friday Harbor, so we were forced to choose....couldn't fit in the day of scenic sailing. But we wake up today not even close to walking distance from anything and we will be here ALL DAY. A LOT of discussion about why we had to leave Friday Harbor with a whole day to spare and even if we couldn't have stayed there, why not leave in the morning so we'd at least have the multiple hours of sailing? Just adds to the many curious and disappointing decisions the cruise line made. BUT....we made the best of it. At breakfast we were told they were OUT of oatmeal and OUT of sausage.....how is a cruise out of food?We walked the marina dock in the morning anwere back in time for lunch. At lunch the choices were not as "interesting" as on previous days. But I had a salad, which made my "Jenny Craig Girl," Sandra, happy :) One thing that did look appealing on the menu was "Brownie a la mode." But we we went to order it we were told, "Sorry, we're out of vanilla ice cream!" HOW does that happen? After lunch we played cards again. A LOT of laughter and a lot of fun. At dinner that night the three couples had chipped in to give our two wait girls - who'd been very good, oh so personable, and laughed alot with us - a card and some gratuity money. Then during dinner itself, our new friends Jack & Karen Fish celebrated her birthday which is tomorrow. It was a fun evening and a great way to end the trip.
Awoke the next morning for a final breakfast to be greeted by the fog on the hills. Off to the airport before 8 am and made the long journey home.
