Maritime Gig Festival

This weekend is Gig Harbor's annual maritime festival. The college has a booth at the fair today, and I volunteered for a shift, so we decided it would be a great time to be here in the Europa! Much better than fighting the traffic and crowds on land.

We arrived late afternoon yesterday. We planned to dock at Jerecich Park, or anchor if the dock was full. Of course, it was full, and then some. Boats were already rafted by the time we got here. What we didn't know, is that there are two mooring buoys at this park. Both empty (one still is as I write this early Saturday morning), and they're free! You still need to register but the ticket prints with no payment. The harbor police boat checked in with us later and confirmed this is in fact how it works.

We had a very pleasant evening, visited by  family of geese looking for handouts. 11 goslings!
