Cruising the Salish Sea

Image
Check out Irene's wake! Is it our imagination or does that new feathering propeller really make a difference? We enjoyed a quick run down sound to do some cruising and debug systems. It was hard to leave our Port Townsend flight simulator training when we were making such good progress, but the sea called! In addition to checking our new boat systems, we had concert tickets drawing us to Bremerton. The theater is in a whimsical downtown artsy district, much improved since our last visit years ago. We used our first visit to a dock in 45 days (with unlimited fresh water) to give the deck a good scrub. Next stop, Gig Harbor to check on the blackberries and the Heritage Distilling Co. We found some lazy sailing days we found some visitors, ..and we found some squalls! Anchored in the protection of Eagle Harbor on Bainbridge Island we prepared for guests, enjoyed the hubub of Memorial Day weekend and continued with projects. Friend

Departed Puget Sound 6/7/17

Irene and crew are underway again. We expect to be at sea a couple of weeks as we cross to Dutch Harbor. Cheers, Ginger and Peter
