I spent the time catching up on podcasts and knitting, it was lovely.

We arrived in Anacortes on time. I headed to the Farmer's Market and The Man headed to West Marine and a couple of other stores.

 It's been a long day. Here's a pic of the end of our dock.

  

Home Port

Yesterday we arrived at Des Moines Marina. This will be Pacific Star's home port.

It was a good journey south.

7:25 am

Leaving La Conner and heading south. We passed the "Seafood and Prime Rib Restaurant" from last night.

The Man said, "This is boating ... hours of boredom". Hah! This is what I signed up for. It's been so busy I haven't had much crafting time. We're traveling at 8 knots (= 9.2 miles/hour). It will take us about 7 hours to get to Poulsbo. Time for sock knitting.

Nikki, from the Harbor office, gave me two tiny Pirate Ducks (Captain and mate), when I told her I loved them, she let me pick a third. So fun.

Loaded Up

We left Cap Sante Marina, Anacortes today.

 

 

We were supposed to have headed south a week ago but extended our departure date while the Boat Yard repaired our Dinghy hardware. It had gotten damaged during the Haul Out. Frankly, it was nice to have the extra time to get organized and Chris did a great job repairing the Seawise Davit system (with new parts).

The Boat Yard wanted to take Star out of the water and load the Dinghy onto her with a Fork Lift. Okay....

 12:32 pm

Dinner in La Conner. Yay, leftovers for the rest of the journey.
