Heading South

Sherman set the Wayback Machine for October 2014

When we last left you we were just finishing off our summer at a wedding in Calgary. We spent a few weeks in Medicine Hat getting a few chores done and then at the beginning of October we were off. West was our direction as we needed to stop in Anacortes, WA  for a few boat parts and a stop in Tacoma, San Francisco and Reno for some quick visits with some sailing friends.

It was a beautiful day and we found a great spot to stop for the evening, right by a lake with a wonderful view of the mountains.  We sat out and even went for a nice stroll in the warm evening air.  The next morning we awoke to snow and although you can't really see it a blizzard was about to hit. Coffee was made while the engine was warming up and we were off, trying to make it through the pass before the snow really hit.  The more west we headed the more the snow turned to rain and it eventually quit altogether.

After a few days in Anacortes and a few more in Tacoma visiting and picking up boat parts we headed for Napa Valley where we unwound for about 4 days.  We found out that s/v Solastra was in town so off we went on a day trip to San Francisco and spent the day visiting with Lynn, Dean and Lulu.  While sitting in the cockpit overlooking the bay we were entertained by an airshow or the warm up practicing of the up coming airshow.
Next stop was Reno, NV for a visit with Curtis & Katie from s/v Aurora then off to Vegas.

Sometimes when we are just pulling in for a night and up early to travel again we will just pull into a truck stop.  Yup we are in there some place.
