05/22/21 We stayed at the casino another night. We had Bloody Marys and Mimosas in the morning and then we drove over to walk around a marina which I loved. We even saw a 40 foot Nordhavn filling with fuel. (I have been lucky enough to help deliver a couple of them. Thanks Dave.) Rosie and I then drove back to Ted’s to get rain suits for Patti and I that were delivered late by Amazon but it was worth it because we will need them later in our trip.

05/21/21 We said our goodbyes and thank you to Ted and everyone who helped us during the last 6 days.

We went back to the beach with bald eagles earlier as the tide was going out. Apparently this only happens a cou...

05/19/21 Wayne and Mike replaced the solar controller so now the solar works! Shannon had been limping for a couple of days so we went to the vet today. She had a ¾ inch foxglove thorn embedded in her paw that needed surgery to be removed. She should be fine but was woozy from being put under and is taking antibiotics. Pretty sure she is blaming me for how she feels but maybe that's just mommy guilt. We had hours with a quiet dog, an unknown event. But she was b...

05/18/21 My solar panels have been set up for three days and working great here in Bremerton. The new smart battery monitor has been helping me keep track of my usage. I'm still in the don't turn anything on and wear a headlamp mode from my boating days but am learning to judiciously use stuff to make my life easier now that I can accurately monitor my batteries.
