Since we were last at Poets Cove they have tripled the dock space, added an upper pool for adults only, and finished the cottages. We stayed in a lovely 3 bedroom cottage with a hot tub that overlooked the marina. The staff, mostly young and international, were very friendly and helpful. Many of them live in housing across the island which is provided by Poets Cove. We talked with one waiter from Morocco who said he had signed a two year contract which would be up in about a year and a half. He told us that at times he felt like he was in "jail." One of the reasons he took the job was to help improve his English. Our time in Poets Cove was spent relaxing, swimming, cleaning up the boat, doing laundry, reading, and of course eating. Their main restaurant, Aurora, which had outside seating, provided a view of lovely sunsets both nights we ate there. We also had the opportunity to view an outside wedding at the cottage next to us. The ceremony was on a beautiful bluff that overlooked the marina. On Tuesday morning, we checked out of the resort, gassed up the boat and headed for Friday Harbor on San Juan Island.
