Reports from the Field

Somehow July blasted by us with hardly a passing glance. I suppose that Megan having a baby didn't help. Luckily she's one of those women that can't be slowed down, she was back in charge after only a few days. Little Tashi seems to like being strapped to her chest here in the store.

Although we had a little burp in the weather last week, it's been sunny and warm ever since. Kayaking out at Deception Pass has been awesome. On calm days we've been able to explore the caves up towards Sares Head. You can actually get a sea kayak all the way into these things and gaze up at the sea life that encrusts the walls and ceilings. Our kayak tours out at Cypress Island, and Burrows Island have been reporting on the growth of the newborn seal pups. It's amazing how fast they fatten up. I guess if you only have one month to nurse on mother's milk then you'd better make it count.

The lazy days of August are just around the corner. It's great to be here in the San Juan Islands!
