I plan leave this afternoon and sail during the night arriving by day light on the Italian coast. It is about a 100 mile trip. I hiked up totn he cemetery at the St. Nicholas Church. I had told my daughters that I wanted to be buried in the cemetery at Sea View, just North of La Conner overlooking the San Juan Islands. I changed my mind instead of looking at the Anacortes refinery I want to be buried here. Better view yet. I found more Petric and Dorotic names in this cemetery. On the way back to the boat I ran in to Antica Dorotic(h) from Cleveland, Ohio. Turns out her father Tonze D. is a cousin of Tony Blazevich a fisherman from Bellingham, wo I have met years ago and is a friend of my best friends in Bellingham. Antica’s sister is married to a Petric from this island.
I am looking forward to my sail around Italy but a little sad in leaving this beautiful part of the Adriatic and its connections to the North West.
