New Window Coverings

We asked Canvas Supply to whip up some new mesh window coverings for a us a couple weeks ago. With all the holiday activities, we just had the opportunity this past weekend to swing by to check the work out. I think they did a great job.

The idea behind it was to give us a bit more privacy when we wanted it without having to have the curtains closed all the time. We still want to be able to see outside and enjoy the view. We also wanted to be able to decrease the bright sun from time to time and give a little weather protection to the windows and frames.

Port Townsend to Seattle

Well … for anyone returning in anticipation of a new, witty, and thoughtful post similar to what you have come to expect from the previous few weeks, I apologize. There is not much interesting to report.

We spent yesterday at the Point Hudson Marina in Port Townsend cleaning the boat. We washed down the kayaks and inflatable, cleaned the anchor and bow, washed the salt water off, and completed a few other minor projects. I added water to the batteries.

This Blue Heron hung out on the pilings near us most of the morning.

Garrison Bay to Port Townsend

The anchor came up at 8:05 this morning and we were on our way to Port Townsend. It was another beautiful morning in Garrison Bay. This the first time we’ve been here. It was pretty shallow when I got up in the morning. Low tide. Seven feet.

Sidney to Garrison Bay

We are headed back to the US today. Sadly, this starts the trip home. We’ll still have a few nice days on the boat ahead, just not what we’ve experienced the last ten days or so.

Morning in Sidney. We are the small boat on the dock full of big boats. Oddly, most seem to be from California. I cleaned the boat a bit. Kim went to town. We left when she came back.

Genoa Bay to Sidney

Sadly, the end of our trip is nearing. Tomorrow we cross back into the US. Our last night in Canada is in Sidney. That’s just a short hop back to customs in Roche Harbor. One more night in the islands.

James Bay to Genoa Bay

Morning in James Bay was fantastic. Like a still pond. It still amazes me that this much water can be so calm.mv Archimedes James Bay morning Continue reading

Ladysmith to Clam Bay

We departed Ladysmith with no destination in mind. We’ll need to come back again and spend a bit more time. Everyone was very nice.
