Another gorgeous sunrise in Lakebay! We left our mooring buoy at Penrose Point State Park this morning around 10:30am and headed toward Gig Harbor. In this shot below, you can just barely make out Mt. Rainier through the clouds, to the left of the trees on the point: It was…

Today's office view (starboard side): Port side: It was pretty choppy last night on our mooring buoy over at Hope Island (felt like we were under way all night!) It's remarkable how loud even teeny tiny waves can be slapping against the hull right next to your head. I dreamt…

It was very rainy all night last night in Oro Bay (but we slept well at the hands of our new Rocna anchor). This morning after some work, we pulled up anchor as we readied to head out. It's working well! Look at all that mud: We stopped at Boston…
