Family Getaway

Trying to coordinate family schedules can be tough but we finally found a weekend that Robyn and Gavin were free to go out with us on Stargazer. We left Saturday morning with Gavin as our captain and Cohen was our first mate. Gavin did all the running and docking of the boat this time to further acquaint himself with all the operations. We went to Poulsbo where we moored for the night and did some crabbing
.

Bob and Gavin had to run about 5 miles to get to a recommended site to drop our crab trap. When they went back out, they found it filled with 3 large dungeness crab and two rock crab. We cooked up the dungeness for dinner and had quite a laugh when, after they were broken in half and cleaned, they moved in the sink while I was washing them. I'm sure people heard me from several slips over! I'd forgotten they could still move a little even at that point. We had a great dinner and a lot more crab than we were able to eat.

While in Poulsbo we walked through the shops, got our obligatory ice cream, and took the dinghy out to see the many seals along the side of the marina. Cohen did great on the boat and slept very well both at naptime and during the night. On our way back to Everett we saw some porpoises playing and were able to get a pretty good shot. Thanks for joining us Robyn, Gavin and Cohen! We had a wonderful time!
