Day 4; Neah Bay
Woke up unwell this morning, but tried to get up and shake it off by going to the grocery.  That didn't work out well at all.  Immediately turned around and headed back to the boat for more sleep.  It helped.  Ed suggested that I take off the sea sickness patch, as he thought was what was making me sick.  Took it off and feel much better this evening.  Laid around watching Law and Order today and made brocolli beef for dinner...yumm.
We're going to head out first light tomorrow, weather permitting.  I won't deny I'm really nervous/scared to round the corner to go south.  Washington waters are unforgiving.  If we have to tuck in someplace, Westport will be where we head.  Forecasts look good, so we'll see.
There are three eagles who hang out here along with all the seagulls.  They land on the masts of the boats just like the gulls, and eat the scraps the fisherman bring in.  Mao and I went out on deck for a minute last night and an eagle flew right over our heads.  Mao headed down immediately; doesn't like the raptors too much.  At about 3a.m. last night I heard a soft meow and found Mao out on deck!  Ed had left the cabin top open just slightly - remarkably she got out, but could't get back in!  That darn cat.
