If you’re following along as we tackle our “Bowtie on Bainbridge” plan, here’s your update for Friday/Day One.
Our goals for today were relatively simple:
- get to Lisabuela in time to join Zoom for a dear friend’s wedding.
- set up camp on Blake Island
- eat dinner in time to get to bed by midnight (or so)
And how did it go?
- We still don’t have our packing game solid. So we left the house 45 minutes late.
- We launched only 30 minutes late, so we’re getting better at packing.
- We did NOT make it to Lisabuela in time for the wedding, but that worked out for the best. As we floated north in Colvos, I pulled the zoom meeting up and watched it on my deck. It was getting towards golden hour. The water was calm, and it was a lovely way to experience a wedding.
- Harbor porpoises joined us along the way, which is always a pleasure.
- Grilled cheese for dinner – who doesn’t love comfort food?
Challenges:
- We encountered a ferry as we got to Southworth. The good news was the ferry captain – he radioed what he was going to do and thanked us for our lights.
- It takes a long time to grill a cheese. On a camp stove. In the cold.
- Bedtime was closer to 2am.
In conclusion: we’re doing well and feel prepped for tomorrow’s circumnavigation!
