September 26th: We left Friday Harbor in the fog and then navigated an intricate course through shallow water to enter Fisherman Bay on Lopez Island. The entrance to the bay was narrow and scary (for Donna). The GPS never lies, so I just followed the course and got right in (without grounding the boat). We dinghied to a nearby marina and then hiked to quaint Lopez Village, with its organic grocery store where we bought a circular loaf of medieval-appearing sourdough rye bread which turned out to be outstanding. Also, found a bakery that had the intoxicating aromas and delectable fare of those we visited in Europe. Couldn't resist the pear-white chocolate-hazelnut Danish!
The real estate prices on Lopez are breathtaking, as they are in all of the San Juan and Gulf Islands.
