The last few weeks have been nonstop, trying to complete our project list. Completing an additional Man Overboard system (notice I did not say Woman Overboad), installing the liferaft, new radar reflector, new table, finishing a marine weather class, emergency replacement windows, mounted the Epirb, installed and figured out the Imux/AIS system with the Ipad, fixed the macerator (very important as this is a poop grinder) and on and on. Add in resigning from my last job, traveling to Vail for a mountain rescue event, our daily chaotic lives and its been a bit stressful. Only now, anchored in our favorite town, Port Townsend, are we starting to feel like we are on vacation.
Last night we scored the Roche Harbor Yacht Club slip at Kingston. Many members are at the Wagon Wheel in Poulsbo. Tom Miner, who we pick up on Wed for the rest of the trip, is the organizer so I'm sure they are having a blast.
The weather has been clear, breezy and in the 60s and 70s. It will be cloudy tomorrow but clearing again on Monday.
Port Townsend is packed tonight and winds are picking up at our anchorage in town. Many (including us) have dragged anchor today. While I am all freaked out about it, Jeff just says "it wont be the last time"! We just clocked 25 mph.
Tomorrow the weather changes a bit for the worst and we'll make the run across the Staits of Juan de Fuca. We'll leave early and the tides and winds look favorable.
The video below is on our sail up here with our new GoPro Hero camera.
Until we post again at Lopez Island!
