10:00 am -- quick trip back to the farm for tea, a tour of the barn, and preparations for our picnic

11:15 am -- parked the car in the ferry line to Orcas, hit the free magazine rack outside Ace Hardware, and made a quick stop at the Farmers Market

On the ferry to Orcas

12:30 -- arrived on Orcas, drove to East Sound where we picked out a fougasse and rye at Rose's Bakery, then went walking through algae to a tiny island
