Left Oak Harbor at 8:10 and ferry was to leave at 8:45.Only 17 miles..no problem. DUH..we were the LAST people on the boat. Good thing I had a reservation! Short ride on the ferry and we hit 101 for a ride down the coast. We had been told that the ride was not so great but I found it wonderful. Granted only about 20% was ocean view but the road was twisty and shaded with lush vegetation. Stopped in Sequin for brunch at Elys, an american/asian eatery that had the most unusual corned beef hash and eggs. Amazing with onions and peppers!
On down the road and stopped in Hoquiam for gas...205 miles and only 4.5 gallons. One thing I can say for Hoquiam and Alberdeen...They make Summer Ave. in Memphis look good! Stopped in Long Beach for the night at "Our Place on the Beach". It is about 100 yds from the beach via a path from the back door. Also 5 blocks from a great seafood restaurant, Doogans.

They have a spectacular kite festival on the beach every summer.
