Big thanks to Larry Grunden for salvaging our Friday Harbor trip! We thought we might have a bent prop shaft on the Honda, which would have sidelined us for Friday Harbor. Larry borrowed a dial indicator from Derek at Bitter End Boatworks, and we were able to confirm the shaft was not bent, we have changed props and are ready to go! |

Gene, I'll have to talk more to you at the gathering about blogging. I wanted to do the same, having some friends and family that do not do Facebook. I almost started with Google+, but think it does more of a public news feed, and I didn't really want to have my blogs go out like that. In the end, I decided for this trip to just use my thread on the Inside Passage 2018 at C-Brats. Colby |

Pat, Glad you got your problem solved. We have a bit of plumbing to do in the morning. It’s a sink thing. It’s always something.
Colby, Maybe we can help with the blog. We’re just diving in. It’s like magic! |

I tried Wordpress, didn't get it. Went to Blogger, piece of cake. I blogged 226 days on our Great Loop cruise. Check it our on http://daydreamsloop.blogspot.com. |

Change of plans due to weather and tide timing, we are launching from Port Orchard near home and running the distance by water! See you soon...

Rosanne and I are on Midnight Flyer in Poets Cove tonight. No problem with customs by land on Canadian Hwy 15. Launched at Ladysmith and good ride here. We'll do customs again in Roche Harbor tomorrow, then on to Friday Harbor by tomorrow afternoon. Beautiful day today. Hope it stays this way for a while! Colby |

Pat & Patti, We so enjoyed your blog of the Great Loop. Good job. I think we could take some lessons from you.
Colby, glad you are in the water and headed to Friday Harbor. Looks like we will be in FH sometime today. We had lots of chores to do in B’Ham. Those are done and we can shove off this morning. Windy now but increasing this afternoon. |

Really enjoying this thread. Harold there will be a bunch of Brats on gne dock, just have some good line to toss to them and they will get you secured. Heather, I'm sure you eat different than I do, (I spent 3 months on my boat and took nearly all my food with me, but I was single on board too,) but it is possible to even go without a cooler, but for the few days you are there, you can probably take what you need in one medium size cooler, and have some to take home.
Colby, good job sorting out the logistics, and the crossings.
Stay safe, you all, and enjoy. Really sorry SleepyC can't make this one, but will see some of you on the water later. Don't forget to check out the Race to Alaska webb site, and the new race for this year, Seventy48. It's people powered, from Olympia to Port Townsend in 48 hours. Really interesting safety boat process for this one.
Have a great time, stay safd and enjoy. Big thank you to Greg, Cindy ans Aven for all their efforts again this year.
Harvey

I was so looking forward to meeting all of you and your awesome boats! Unfortunately, there's been a death in the family this week. Blue Heron will have to roost in the driveway for a few days.
I'm new here and have only had the boat for a few weeks. I've been out in Port Townsend Bay a few times and I'm really looking forward to a trip to the San Juans and beyond. I'm especially interested in buddy boating around the area, so if you are near Port Townsend, get in touch.
I have a lot to learn and this is the fountain of knowledge! I will read all I can, as soon as I can!
Everyone have a fantastic weekend in Friday Harbor! See you next year! |

There is a good batch of C-Brats already here who arrived yesterday, including us. Easy cruise over mostly flat water from Blaine Harbor, ~12 knots at 3,800 RPM with the Apollo 15 pitch stainless prop purchased in Harbor Springs, MI, the Apalachicola 11 pitch is now stowed as a spare, and Daydream is performing just the way she did before we started the Loop loaded to the hilt! Colby helped us get tied up, Colby and Roseanne are one boat over (Patrick and Kim are next to us), Fred and i helped Harald and Heather get tied up. "Latecomers" (i.e., people who arrive on the scheduled day!) will find a few open slips on H and G is mostly empty. Let the fun begin! |
