We are out for a little winter cruising. We went from Seattle to Port
Townsend yesterday. 20-30kt winds on the nose most of the way, but sea
state was fine. I was a little worried about getting into Pt Townsend
in the wind, but it was fine. It's a very tight dog leg entrance, then
immediate 90 deg turn into the slip. With strong cross wind, it can be
interesting. Last time we came in here was one of our first trips in
the boat and the thrusters started working intermittently as we were
making our entrance in a very strong wind. I had pretty well resigned
myself to hitting the breakwater, docks, or some other boat, but we
managed to get in without unauthorized contact. This time was much
better.
We plan to spend the next week or two poking around the
San Juans and Gulf Islands, ending up in Vancouver where we will keep
the boat for a while.
