From Tacoma we cruised a short distance to the little fishing town of Gig Harbor to visit new friends Cathryn and Bob. They treated us to a nice home-cooked dinner in their gorgeous home, right on Colvos Passage. We had a great time and a l…

Tacoma and Art Glass
We were always excited when we had a high enough vantage point (and clear skies) in Seattle to get a glimpse of Mt. Rainier. Heading south to Tacoma we cruised around the point and got a fantastic view of the mountain, with the cranes of Tacoma’s…
Blake Island and Seattle
Just a short 7 miles from Seattle is Blake Island State Park – a great place to stop for some hiking and walking. It’s about 5 miles in circumference, heavily wooded, with some mooring balls and a breakwater and docks. There’s also an India…

We continued our quest to see bears, so we headed into Viner Sound where people reported seeing lots of bears every day. The little bay is about 2 miles long, narrowing to a dead end with a tidal flat and a meadow with a creek running through it. There…
