Rendezvous Trip Day 1

As we shadow a "real" tug, we find ourselves heading up the east side of Vashon out of Commencement Bay to points north. Another outstanding day for cruising PNW waters.

I call this the Rendezvous Trip because we will meet up with the Ranger Tugs/Cutwater Boats group for their annual "Rendezvous" gathering in Roche Harbor. The title this year is Cruise to Margaritville. Es-yay on the margaritas; ix-nay on the accompanying Jimmy Buffet nonsense. Sorry parrotheads!

We are taking time beforehand to visit some favorites and some new-to-us-in-a-boat places. Here is the proposed itinerary: Edmonds; Spencer Spit (Lopez Island); Rosario (Orcas Island); Fisherman Bay (Lopez Island); Victoria for 2 nights; then to Roche. Home via Port Townsend on the 11th. Best laid plans...

Hope to meet up with the Coorie Doon at Lopez!

We hope the weather forecast is true and that it stays about 10 degrees cooler up north than the predicted near-100 temps in Tacoma. Yuk. Thanks for watering, various people!

And hoping for lots of wildlife sightings!
