Obstacle course through Commencement Bay!

The weather just wasn't as good as we'd hoped, so yesterday, instead of heading further north, we turned south out of Des Moines and pulled up at Jerisich dock in Gig Harbor. Getting here was interesting. There is so much debris in the water from recent heavy rain and flooding that it sometimes looked like there was a solid line of stuff in our way. After slowing down - I know, hard to imagine us going even slower, right? - we carefully found what seemed to be a break in the log jam and gently nosed our way through. We made it without any bumps. We've got to make our way back through the bay to get home at some point so hopefully most of the junk will clear.

We are always happy to visit G.H. I contacted some friends last minute and were able to spend a bit of time catching up yesterday afternoon. Cooked another pot roast - we love to be in a warm and cozy boat while something yummy smelling is in the oven. It really does a nice job...as long as whatever you're fixing is on the small side.

Just had lunch at The Tides Tavern - never disappoints. We are going to hang around until tomorrow. We don't have any real reason to go home, so we as we often say, "If we can't decide to stay or go home...then just stay!"
