Neah Bay

So we have been in Neah Bay waiting out some weather and enjoying Makah Days - the local tribal celebration of the Peace Treaty. The main street is closed off and there are many festivities including canoe races, dancing, and fireworks. The celebration food is primarily Indian tacos and fry bread. We ate both! The fry bread reminds me of a triple layer thick funnel cake from Ocean City MD. No powdered sugar but instead they put butter and a berry preserve. Blackberry was our choice of course. Despite eating all the blackberries we can find on every side road in the State of Washington we still want more! We also tried some whale jerky as a cruise ship, unfortunately, hit a humpback and the tribe was able to harvest the whale so it was not to waste.

It is great to watch fireworks from the boat - all the comforts of home (aka snacks and booze) while anchored out. Best seats in the house!

Another excursion was to Cape Flattery - we took the local bus which is normally 25 cents but was free due to Makah days to give us a head start as it was 7 miles one way just to the trailhead. The trail is only 1.2 mi RT and is very scenic. The Pacific Northwest forests always make me feel like fairies and gnomes are running around in there ( of course they are 👀)

Tatoosh Island,  approximately 0.5 miles off the coast and there is a lighthouse on the island but my iPhone camera does not do it justice. I think I need to invest in a better camera.

What a great trail...

Oh yeah and a little engine room time for me. Changing our dual Raycor fuel filters- our engine sits under our companionway stairs.  They looked great so we were happy - we will love on our Yanmar diesel engine so she loves us back!
