We're having lunch at The Speedboat Restaurant in Clinton, Washington. Great food and highly recommended... |
| We showed the waitress the STAR patches on the backs of our vests so she showed us the STAR on the back of her neck! Very fitting! |

After lunch, Jim cleans his windshield for the return voyage. I offered to let him clean my windshield but he didn't seem too enthused... |
| We stopped at Deception Pass to take some pictures... |

There were some pretty plants in the rocks alongside of the road. All in all, it was a great day and a fun ride. See you next time! |
