Yesterday I got my new galley curtains up :-) Lighthouses, I LOVE them. They do not block much light... or even offer much privacy, but our windows are tinted and I like them so what the heck.
What a beautiful morning.... Today is another moving day. A new month, a new marina. This morning around 9am we are heading to Bremerton, Port Washington, where we will make our home for the next several months.
We drove the Toyota to Bremerton last night, this morning we will take the boat over, then use the Toyota to come back and get the car and drive it over to our new marina.
Seems like just about the time I start to figure out how to get around a new town we move. LOL.
I am looking forward to exploring Bremerton... a few fast facts;
The Puget Sound Navy Yard at Bremerton, just across Elliott Bay from Seattle, was first established in 1891. The yard is equipped with three dry docks, one of which is the largest building dry dock in the United States. There are three piers in the yard capable of berthing 12 battleships at the same time! They have a Naval undersea museum that I am excited to visit, and I also want to go and take a tour of one of the declassified battleships.. VERY COOL!
The downtown Seattle ferries are a straight shot to Bremerton so guests should have no trouble finding us... Hint, hint.... HaHa
I am trying to look at all these moves as an adventure. Who wants to live on a boat and stay in one place... Right??? I guess the Land Lubber in me thinks I need a permanent address. Silly. Be open to adventure girl! Enjoy the ride...
Well, better wake the Skipper and get ready to sail. Gotta hit the harbor during slack in low tide. What ever THAT means. Oh.. and Ben got a New Lowrance GPS for the boat yesterday... It is the Rolls Royce 3-D of Sonar/GPS. Holy Cow.. the thing will even make hotel reservations for you in Ports and show you views from space...  LOL, poor guy, now if he could just figure out how to run the thing... OMG FUNNY to watch him try to run it  :-)
