It was Wonderful!
Thanks again to those brave souls that put up with our boat visits and repititive questions! We really like seeing how other owners have solved problems and done upgrades.
Special Thanks to all those that brought door prizes to the pot luck.
What with several delivered pizza's, we were almost wallowing in good food!
While most of you headed back out for some cruising... we "land cruisers" spent a day in the Pt Ludlow area visiting with other sailing friends. Then we made an executive decision (after some discussion) to pass on the High Season crowds in Victoria via the ferry, and instead booked a couple nights at the Resort at the Quileute Reservation at LaPush. I knew that it was an oft-overlooked destination after I had a stop off during a delivery down the coast several years ago. I recalled the people as friendly and helpful, in a small village. As they say, "it's not the end of the world, but you can see it from there!"
Upshot was that after two nights with an ocean view about a thousand feet from our balcony deck, we stayed a third night!
A view that close to the Pacific would cost at least 3X as much anywhere else. Period.
We could watch the USCG 47 footer make their regular patrols and fishing boats coming in. Listen to the Sound of surf through an open window all the time.
Excellent highway access, via 101, with a 14 mile state hiway going west from the junction by Forks.
They have a large new RV park, too, with full hookups.
Anyhow, Port Townsend was a great destination for the Rendezvous, again. We look forward to more visits, by land or sea.
