sittin on the dock of the bay

One of the many Bald eagles I saw this morningMakah marina

Just killing time here at the marina.We have to stay here another night as the weather system blows over.This morning I went to get coffee and saw about 10 bald eagles.This place is a haven for them.The marina is full with commercial fishing boats.It's pretty cool here.We're at the most western part of the country in Washington.Tomorrow we'll make our way out into the Pacific if the weather and wind are in our favor.Marvin and I had breakfast this morning at a local hot spot where they serve all local organic food.Farm fresh eggs, home made bread and home made strawberry jam.It was quite nice.This is a Indian reservation and everyone is super friendly.We have a resident sea loin on the dock.Marvin saw him yesterday while I was napping.I sure would like to get a picture of him.Right now we have the heater cranked up in the boat because it's quite chilly.The forecast looks good for the next four days.We should be able to make some good time.

  1. Hi Lenny. It is Ann and Bill from Iowa, we met you in West Glacier after you had just descended Marias Pass, we ate lunch and visited that afternoon. Have been checking your blog when we can and following your journey. What a GREAT ride you are having - on and off the bike!! We are very happy for you to come across so many fortunate opportunities, just wonderful. After we left our lunch spot in West Glacier we rode on to Apgar looking for a place to camp that night. Found out Logan's Pass was open to bikers and hikers and closed to vehicles at the top, bikes were allowed on the Going To The Sun Road after 4 p.m. and it was just that time when we discovered we could go over the pass. So we jumped on our bikes and took off to go over the pass.
    Hope to keep in touch with you and keep following your adventure. Our website is www.teamtrapper.blogspot.com
    Take care and stay safe!
    Bill and Ann
