This is it, the final day aboard, tonight we will be home in our own bed. And luckily for us, yesterday's predicted storm doesn't arrive until tomorrow! Look at this lovely scene surrounding us - lots of the color blue! The Seattle skyline is like a shadow show across the way, muted in the morning haze, as is Mt. Rainier.
We're cruising at a leisurely pace, timing our cruise to pass through the Narrows on the flood tide. It always seems like a slow slog down Colvos Passage, but then the current quickly carries us through the Narrows.
Lunchtime! We tie onto a buoy at little Eagle Island and relax while we watch seals active in the water.

We arrive at our dock with time for a last dinner aboard before heading home to our "land" house. And yes, tomorrow the weather is in for a big change! We have had a series of great boat days, visiting both familiar and new destinations. We're hoping for more good days for fall cruising! Thanks, captain!
