Gig Harbor Light
Amazing Grace, Topsail Schooner
Down Colvos Channel it is impossible to sail with the wind facing us, so it is a day of motoring and then to Arabella's Landing to relax in Gig Harbor. In the evening we eat on the deck of the Tides Tavern.
No use starting south under the Narrows Bridge until the tide and currents turn. Our departure isn't until 11am and I have time to do the washing before we go. Nice to have that done. The current carries us all the way to Olympia; again no sailing but we pass familiar places the McNeil Island penitentiary, Eagle Island, Filucy Bay, and Dofflemeyer Point before turning into Budd Bay. Along the way the topsail schooner Amazing Grace passes us going north--motoring. No sails for her either. We are glad to be back in Olympia, but there is regret that sailing, at least for 2009 is mostly over now.
