  • Kingston | Everett | Deception

    Another 🦀 limit in Kingston! And another pizza, this time a NY style. Not bad but not as thin and crispy as I like. We moved on to spend a couple of nights in Everett. They’ve rearranged guest moorage since… Continue reading

  • Gig Harbor | Blake Island | Eagle Harbor

    The weather didn’t hit until we were on our way under the Narrows Bridges on our way back to Gig Harbor. I think the first time we’ve boated with thunder and lightning. Pretty wet but it cleared nicely the next… Continue reading

  • Did I mention calm waters?

    I think I have. Nick keeps making comments about how relaxing he finds this portion of the Salish Sea. Slower. Quieter. This is the view of Nisqually Reach on our short cruise from Jarrell Cove to Filucy Bay this morning… Continue reading

  • Oro Bay (so nice!) & on to Jarrell Cove

    Oh the sounds of Oro Bay… occasional (and low-level) boats, cars, aircraft, and trains. Wildlife aplenty…and the gentle on and off cycling of a working refrigerator! Boston Harbor Marina, just north of Olympia, is written up very nicely in the… Continue reading

  • New Fridge!

    What a fun weekend! So many people on the island! We checked out Kit’s (Nick’s sister) new-to-her lovely condo on Perry Point, met up with Mike and Deb aboard Aris, and also with Steve & Tracey (who stayed at Kit’s).… Continue reading

  • From Turf to Surf

    The weather cooperated last weekend and we had a great time at Pt. Hudson with our son and family. Grandpa grilled hotdogs, a big hit with Mac and Ren, and a chance for their parents to get away into town… Continue reading

  • Sequim & John Wayne’s Waterfront Resort

    We arrived in Sequim Wednesday and found our spot at JohnWayne’s Waterfront Resort. Read about this here: Although our spot was tucked in a back corner that seemed like an afterthought, it was grassy, roomy, and fairly private. The resort… Continue reading

  • Skokomish Park to Dosewallips State Park

    The park didn’t get very full Sunday night and the crowds on Monday were greatly diminished. Lots of campers Tuesday night but all-in-all fairly quiet. Some of the sites for smaller rigs are very tightly packed. We rented an SUP… Continue reading
