All weekend it's been super stormy up here in Anacortes. It's been fine, since we had projects to work on and no plans to go out on the boat. (Plus, one of the solar panels is not yet attached to the roof of the pilot house.) Stormy view out the…

Some improvements we've made to the boat this weekend: 1. An adjustable laptop stand from Twelve South called the HiRise turns the aft galley counter into a perfect standing desk for me. (This might also work in the Airstream on top of the cutting board in the kitchen.) Kevin can put his…

We took the dinghy ashore and did some hiking and exploring around Sucia Island today. First we headed over to Shallow Bay. Great rock formations: This tree looked like it was standing upright (about 8' high) on the shore over at Shallow Bay, but it was covered in barnacles…which made…

Our evening moored at Spencer Spit was great. A cocktail on the top deck, sunset, water, wildlife, trees…it can't get much better. A sailboat was anchored a ways from us, but there were still no other boats at the mooring buoys on this side of the spit. We tried out…

What a gorgeous end to a fantastic day. The sky cleared in the west as the sun set and the contrast of the warm sunlight against the dark gray sky was spectacular. We got out the chairs and moved our operation to the top deck of Airship and watched the…
