We started July getting ready to do some boating. The first cruise was to Solomon’s Island for the weekend of the 14th. We had a good crowd of people and enjoyed food, comradery, and hosting a group of boaters from WYA that were on their second planned long trip of the summer. We gave them a couple of good meals and enjoyed their friendship. Albert and Veronica traveled with us on BenjOllie and stayed in the forward cabin. An enjoyable travel event even though we suffered some heavy rain on the trip to Solomons — no strong winds nor rough seas.
During the trip to Solomon’s I found out that my old High School friend Jay White was having some health issues and we decided to fly back to Washington and visit with Jay and Carmen White for a week. We flew out on the 17th of July. While out west we saw my cousins Damen and David in Quincy. To round out the trip we visited my home-town of Ephrata and the college I graduated from, WSU. I lived in Alfa Gamma Rho fraternity during my stay at WSU, and earned money for college while in High School shining shoes at a local Ephrata barber shop. Jay and Carmen live in Wenatchee. A few of the pictures we took are below.
We returned and made a good weekend trip to Point Lookout with the CYC group, then motored home to get ready for more boating.
