Poets Cove Trip Day 8

Arrived at Poets Cove Marina on Thursday, just after 8 am. And then watched as about 49 other Rangers and Cutwaters arrived throughout the day.

This is a great opportunity to share information with other boaters, but specifically other R.T. owners. I took a tour of an older 29, and later met and  swapped ideas with someone I had been emailing over the past few months. Most people have some solution they want share, about navigation, boat parts, and storage...and pretty much everything else you can think of. Many people stopped to admire our cargo rack and box.

Captain Nick dropped the crab pot but alas...a couple of throwbacks were all that came up.

It sprinkled on and off all day and then cleared up beautifully for the usual happy hour on the dock. Tons of really good food. My deviled eggs were a hit...but everyone's deviled eggs are always popular!

Poets Cove Trip Day 14

Today, Wednesday, is day 14 and our final day of this cruise. We are just rounding Browns Point and the Foss is in sight. We've seen more wildlife the last couple of days than we saw further north, including this tiny seal pup floating on a log. (Taking photos with a phone from a moving boat is challenging.) It's back to work tomorrow (in fact, Nick has to drive to Cispus this afternoon!) but we will be back aboard the Pelican soon! Glorious.

Father's Day

We left the Foss yesterday, amidst the tall ships in Tacoma for Festival of Sail. Spent the night at anchor in Gig Harbor and then  met my dad and two of my sisters for a quick boat ride and lunch. Happy Father's Day!

Cruising With Friends

It's a beautiful (early!) morning in Eagle Harbor. With temperatures approaching 100 expected, it will be a nice day to be on the water. We met some friends (Coorie Doon and Blue Max) in Poulsbo on Friday, then motored over to Bainbridge yesterday. After some very interesting anchoring situations, we tied up at balls for the night. Don't know who these buoys belong to...but thank you. Just before leaving home on Friday afternoon, we made the decision to buy the Ranger 29! So...not sure if this is our last trip aboard Pelican. Stay tuned!
