On our way to meet our friend Steve for dinner and drinks tonight over at A Town Bistro (great, I'll get to that later), we happened past the Dakota Creek shipyard in Anacortes and this amazing boat: Turns out this is the F/V Blue North, an Alaskan Cod Fishery Vessel. From…

We worked this morning over at Friday Harbor for a while, and then headed back to Anacortes. We're going to have some work done on the boat this week/next week (haul out, bottom paint, zincs replaced, stuff like that). Sad to say goodbye, but it's just for a short bit.…

We woke up early this morning in Friday Harbor (with the help of that extra hour, thanks Daylight Savings Time). We decided to have a quick breakfast and head out early while it was still nice and calm. Well, that didn't last long at all: Originally we thought we'd take…
