Hi Mates! I got invited on a two day sailboat delivery last week with my good friend Steve Roberts. Thats his sailboat the S/V NOMADNESS to the left which is heading to Everett via Olympia which is where it's moored. Will leave in the morning following our Beers & Burgers at the Fish Brewing Co. last night.
The Capital as we depart Olympia thursday morning. This was my first time to South Sound and one of the reasons I wanted to make this trip and to sea the south end of the newly named Salish Sea. I've see it all now!
Mt.Rainier as were headed north. It sits there alone on the horizon wondering where the rest of the range went. The Lone Range-r of the Cascades.
Stark waterfront accommodations on McNeil Island. There wasn't much going on as we cruised past this concrete enclave other than the changing of the guard.
You can steer this here ship with this wireless gadget that resembles a remote for your TV. I really enjoyed using the remote as I'm usually stuck in the cockpit of my boat navigating with a 4' stick ( Tiller). Tacoma Narrows bridge in the foreground.
Serious crew for some reason. Actually the main reason Steve brings me along is for that terrifying 2 minutes as we get close to the dock. It's my job to keep the paint on the boat and to minimize our impact with the neighbors.

Just made it!

Looming Ranier again as we had a super view from our anchorage in Gig Harbor.
Over exposed once again as we head back from a evening of merriment and wobbly pops in Gig Harbor.
