Work Day in Anacortes
We have good wifi in Anacortes. We do not in Bellingham. Thus, we decided to stay an extra day here so I could get some work done. We had breakfast on the boat. I spent the day working on the online course I will be teaching next semester. My colleagues in the course were most helpful with rapid responses to issues that came up. We are pretty much done, now.

I will work on that when we reach home port in Bellingham. I also went up to take a shower at the marina office. I’d rate the shower facilities a 3 on a scale of 5. It was a bit cold and there was not much room inside the shower area, such that clothes stood a chance of getting wet from the spray. Few clothes hooks and it cost about $1.50 in quarters for a full shower. OK but not great on my scale. We also communicated with a realtor to show us a place in Bellingham that we would like to see.
