The weather forcast was for such good weather we scrapped all other plans and went down to the boat on Friday the 13th. got a late start after struggling in the heat to re install the alternator that i pulled out to make sure it was working correctly after having it rebuilt earlier this year. Wanted to make sure it was not the cause of the cooked battery. Apparently not but it had to be the hard one to get at. Lots of cursing. It finally was in and we were finally off for Illahee State Park and abundant crab. Picked a bouy up and dropped the new pot with good bait. Nothing worth keeping all night., Dropped it again next morning and as i was motoring away the float dissapeared under water, oops, dropped too deep. Lost the whole dang thing. Looked at low tide but I checked an it was in 120 feet and I only had 100 feet of line. Dumb luck for me, good luck for the crabs.
Headed on up to Liberty Bay just ahead of Steve and Michelle. Dropped anchor in a stiff breeze and hung out all day. Swimmine, cleaning the hull and drinking tall cool ones. met up with Jeff Edmonds and Colleen on their 42 Krogan at the Poulsbo Yacht Club where the moor. they just got back from an all day run from Lopez, had to cut their trip short for a family emergency. Bummer. Hope all goes well.
It was good to catch up with what they have been up to of late, we see them once or twice a year.
Chris suggested we stay out tonight since we have no home to return to with the floors all churned up and the furniture in storage. Why not?
Think we will head down to Gig and hang out for a couple of days. I could get to liking this live aboard thing,

Hey Tom and Chris
Nice being "homeless" eh? We are at our land home now. Reliving the great vacation. I'm out of town this week on business but Jeff will be down on the boat each night most likely. If you end up at Dock Street, give him a call. (and make hin eat something other than KFC, please).
