Day 29

This will be surprising news - it rained off and on all night and was cloudy and rainy this morning and most of the day. The difference today is there was also a brisk wind. Remember the screws that came through the ceiling when Jan "fixed" the roof? One of them had rain dripping off of it last night so Jan was back on the roof this morning covering the screw heads with silicone. We may beat that leak problem yet!

Jan was told by a few people that Anchor Point was a good place to go for eagle watching so that's where we went. Just as an aside, Captain Cook lost his anchor there thus the name Anchor Point. I wonder if Smee was with him. Oh wait, that's Captain Hook. I digress. The normal places to see eagles are in a tree or on a rocky cliff but these sit on the beach with the seagulls. I imagine they're there in hopes of stealing fish scraps from the seagulls. We walked along the beach and saw at least 8 of them; they didn't appear to be too concerned with people walking around. Jan got some great pictures, a few of them of the eagles in flight. It was pretty cool. We've seen more eagles in this area than we saw on our cruise excursion to the Eagle Preserve! We also encountered 2 moose walking along the highway. That was pretty cool, too.
