Tunes in the Dunes 2018🎶!

Touchdown Friday Harbor is on a Sunday afternoon....and Take Off for Tunes in the Dunes on the Oregon Coast is Wednesday!  How can this happen?  And yet....it does!

We drive to Olympia and spend the night with Debi and Scott Cossu.  After a wonderful dinner and a good sleep, we are off Thursday morning for Lincoln City, Oregon.

Debi is nice and cozy in the back seat with all the ukuleles, sleeping bags and luggage.  

We spend one night at a beach hotel in order to be in town for the ukulele concert on Thursday.  First a little dinner with a Friday Harbor friend, Steve.

The famous (?) seafood joint,”Mo’s” is our dinner choice.  Fabulous view!

This year we help out doing a shuttle service from the car park to the river edge.  Once we get over to Camp Westwind, we find our Coyote Beach buddies, Dale and Lisa!  Oh, yes, and Myrna on the right...who we consistently meet up with at ukulele events around the world.

Introductions are out on the lodge porch....in the sunshine! 

The instructors introduce themselves and give a little promo about their classes.

Here’s Andy Andrews....

Heidi and Daniel are here this year.

Almost time for dinner....!

“Thank you for this food, this glorious food...for the minerals, and the vegetables and the animals...that make it possible!”

I love this grace, rising into the air with 100 voices all together!

Yep....dinners and breakfast like this...and pack your own yummy lunch...snacks several times a day...and y s, desserts.  Once again, fabulous...organic, sustainable, locally grown incredible meals!

This is a weekend full of excellent music, great classes....(how to choose?)...new friends and old....

Here is our little abode for 40 winks every night...

Saturday night is always the group performances and...this year Steve and Nan played and sang together on “stage” too!  This is something we never considered a few years ago....and it was really fun!

Here’s Dale’s group performance.  Rock stars!

A little practice on the beach...

Too soon, a goodbye to old friends...Aloha, Pam!

Aloha and Mahalo tent shelter, Camp Westwind, coastal beach and dunes, yummy food, amazing instruction...and the chance to make music together once again.  Tunes 2018 comes to a close....with 2019 waiting with possibility. See you next September!

ALOHA Nui!!!
