Downtime on Blake Island

Mid June, we took a break from boat and land projects to visit Blake Island for a few days. Getting off the dock in 20+kt winds in Bremerton would have been more challenging without the help of our marina friends Grant and Kevin… however, picking up a mooring buoy in 20+kt winds was entertaining for any boats anchored or passing by.

We settled into the west anchorage of Blake Island, which was sheltered from wind and commercial maritime wakes. Our time was filled with calm seas, sounds of an occasional boat or floatplane engine drowned out by the joyful, rhythmic notes from birds singing on shore, and watching a family raccoons scavenge the shoreline for food.
