We made it to Friday Harbor and cleared Customs, but here we stay.  The weather system that we were trying to keep ahead of has caught up with us. So we’ll stay at least until Thursday. Winds for tomorrow are expected to be 40kts so, even in this sheltered marina I’m using additional lines. The…

Friday Harbor

The trip across the Straights of Georgia was a piece of cake. Arrived in Friday Harbor this afternoon.

Farm

The most common trip, by far, is going to and from the Farm. I was at the Farm the other day assessing the damage from the fallen trees – in particular the damage to the water system.

Salmon Inlet, Sea King

Posted on February 25, 2019April 2, 2019 by admin

Sea King Did some investigating into why the Sea King (from Coast Foundry Co. Ltd) diesel stove goes out after a short while. I think there may be a blockage and/or leak somewhere…
