Port Townsend, Sept 28th

Julius on his first watch:

We decided to stop at Pt Townsend as we had friends who lived there and we wanted to see their new boat. We also had some time to kill as the swell off Cape Flattery was pretty high and we were planning on waiting a bit until it went down. We let the crew drive a bit to get them comfortable with the boat. Got a slip at a marina downtown and immediately got out to explore the town and stretch our legs while we had the chance. Pt Townsend has a lot of character and public art and also a great skateboard park (according to Will and Julius).

Peter and Heidi on their new boat Moccasin:

We definitely could have spent a few days here but the swell around Cape Flattery was improving and we needed to get a move on. Winds and seas were threatening to build near the end of our trip and we knew we needed to be home by early Thursday in order to avoid them. We went to sleep early and tried to rest up before the big cruise down the coast to our homeport of Sausalito.
