The campground is quiet till about 9am. It is nice to have Rich to make big breakfasts. We saw Orca twice before we left on our day’s exploration! The roads are too narrow for us to go cycling so we jumped into the car and went south. We explored the whale watching station and the restored lime kiln. The islands were completely deforested during the lime heyday but they have, thankfully, recovered. We discovered that we have been spoilt to see the Orca so often because they had not been seen for a whole week prior to our arrival. They had however seen a humpback whale recently. At the American camp we learnt about the pig war with the British. We then explored Friday Harbor. We met Popeye the local seal. Rich found a fishmonger and brought a whole variety of fish and shellfish for dinner. It tasted great. Crab was our favorite.
