Easter Sunday!
It's perfect weather for a picnic cruise to celebrate Easter, an almost spring-like day. The mountains are once again stunning, and winds are from the N.W. A little sunscreen is in order today, hooray!
The cruise to McMicken is easy, and the buoys are all empty when we arrive. The park is all ours on this holiday. A relaxing afternoon is spent soaking up a bit of sun, spotting eagles, listening to the water lap against the hull. The Easter picnic: chicken, potato salad, fresh pineapple, brownies, and tea.

We are so decked out in our Easter finery, enjoying the day!
The lighting is lovely for the cruise home, a beautiful end to another fine day aboard NORTH STAR.
