Gig Harbor

Gig Harbor lies 25 miles south of Seattle-Shilshole making today's 3.5 hr run easy money compared to yesterday. Wind was calm and water flat adding further bliss to the day. Temperatures are not pleasant however with a 28 degree reading this morning.

The run was mostly without incident except for a loud bang on the hull bottom just outside of Shilshole. I held my breath for a moment expecting prop or rudder impact... nothing... relief. Often an unnoticed log pops up in your wake after such an event but I saw nothing coming or going. Next haulout will tell if damage was done.

No wi-fi is available at the marina here so I'll post today's pictures and notes with tomorrow's entry.

Arriving at 12:30 this afternoon we had lunch aboard then met with a custom canvas maker to measure for a cockpit cover.

We stayed at Arabella's Landing

Sailor had a tough day on lookout duty and decided to turn in early.



Tomorrow's leg takes us to our homeport in Olympia-about 28 miles away. Weather forecast is about the same with expected high of 46.

Until then ...
