Bringing Her Home

We departed Olympia Marina at 8:00am to bring Stargazer to her home port of Everett, WA. The weather started out rainy and we went through a very large rain squall. There were small craft warnings but most of the trip was beautiful for cruising. The boat handled great in Puget Sound even where there were 4-5 foot waves.



The following picture of the GPS shows a few of the many inlets in Puget Sound that are left for us to explore on future trips.
Along the way we saw two whales, a sea lion and a navy submarine being escorted by a Coast Guard cutter and a Blackhawk helicopter.


Following are some of the sites we passed along the way - Tacoma Narrows Bridge, Seattle skyline, and the Mukilteo ferry and lighthouse.


 

It was a wonderful day and everything came together for a fantastic first outing aboard Stargazer. We arrived at the Everett Marina at 2:50pm.

  1. Hey Bob:
    Debbie forwarded the link to me. Looks like you have a great craft upon which to enjoy the beauty of the Pacific Northwest.

    Hope spring comes soon so that you, Laurie family and friends can enjoy and begin to explore!

    Have a Merry Christmas and a happy New Year!
