  • New Fridge!

    We spent a couple of nights in Poulsbo at the yacht club. Took a nice long paddle into the inlet. Then we anchored in Gig Harbor Thursday night. Dragon boats out for practice: Ate the rest of our crab, Louie-style.… 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

  • Happy 40th!

    We attended our two oldest grandsons’ “moving up” celebrations, Mac from Kindergarten to first grade, and Ren from Transition Kindergarten to Kindergarten. A highlight was Ren jumping off the stage and doing “The Worm” dance. No one saw that coming!… Continue reading

  • On to Eastern Washington…

    Seaquest State Park is definitely a keeper. We had so much fun with the kids… good meals, and a couple of trips to the Visitor’s Center. The volcano exhibits are impressive and the wetland doesn’t disappoint. There are many hiking… Continue reading

  • Touch of Gray’s Boating Season Begins

    Nick and I arrived home from Kailua-Kona on April 5th. Despite the biggest storm to hit the area in fifty years, it was a wonderful trip. We were fortunate to have the Ramble On crew (Shannon & Steve) with us… Continue reading

  • Eagle Harbor & Blake Island

    Lovely two nights at anchor in Eagle Harbor. Weather was good, and we got a couple of nice paddles in. While paddling the inner harbor we watched two animals cavorting along the shore. I’ve gone back and forth between foxes… Continue reading
