We headed back out in to the wilderness into the Fox Island Thoroughfare and Vinyl Haven. It is a group of islands East from the mainland about a 3 hour motor. Very beautiful and very isolated. It doesn’t get to ungodly cold here in the winter with the temperatures rarely going below zero and normally staying in the mid 20’s and 30’s. It’s about the same latitude as Seattle. Once again, many similarities. We explored the islands and picked up some clams along the way. They were so delicious!!!
Then the fog came in. It was so thick. I was just wishing it would lift and then it would get heavier and come in more dense. Then lift a little but again more dense. There’s not much you can do in the fog. It was so foggy that I didn’t trust going out in the dinghy. I would have needed a compass to find my way back. It’s like diving and you don’t know which way is up. A very strange feeling. So we caught up on some organizing on the boat and I did some knitting while we waited out the fog. It was one whole day of waiting.
The next day, the sun came out after 10am and burned away enough so that we could navigate out of the islands. We decided to go back to the mainland where there might be more sun, warmth and less fog. Camden, here we come. A 3 hour motor.
