We are on the way north

We finally got underway for our trip north and possibly to Alaska. We left Port Orchard Thursday, the 27th of May. We decided to change our plans somewhat and first attend our yacht club rendezvous which takes place every Memorial Day weekend at the Meydenbauer Yacht Club facilities.

After spending a week or more packing up the boat

This is just part of the food that needs a home.

we headed to the Ballard Locks and then into Lake Union. We spent the first night at the docks where I bought the boat. They wanted to check on my troublesome sliding door that gets us into the boat. It has been known to stick so hard it can’t be opened without a huge struggle. On Friday we headed into Lake Washington and towards Meydenbauer Bay. It was cold and rainy all day and today isn’t much better.

We will stay here until Monday and then head to Oak Harbor for a few days to see my brother John and then on to Bellingham to see our friends, Tom & Louise. After that we plan on going straight to Vancouver, BC to see our Yuma neighbors, Steve & Carrie.
