Earlier in the week there had been pea soup fog, but the forecast was for the fog to be replaced by low clouds and the weather was on the upper end of you could expect for January in the Northwest. So under misty skies we headed over to Poulsbo.
We shot a video of the weekend - it's 5 minutes long and the first tune is 'Fly Fishers Dream' by BJ Maclean. Better known to me growing up as Bonnie Fresn.
Simply getting away from the dock is a joy. Going across the sound takes about an hour and the favorable current in Agate pass swept us through at about 9 knots.
The trip over was uneventful and Andy and Jill arrived shortly after we did. After assisting Andy with a 50 amp power cord problem (we both learned there are 2 different types of 50 amp adapters. Who knew?) we all jumped in the bullfrog for a quick trip into town.
Later that night we headed back to Cambria and Jodi and Jill whipped up an impromptu potluck.
Sunday was the game and it was on to Bainbridge to watch the game. Again under misty skies we headed out of Liberty Bay and down around the south end of Bainbridge. The water was bathwater flat calm.
Tom and Tessa had just purchased a house and are in the process of a remodel, but we watched the game and did the usual jumping for joy followed by some tense moments as the Seahawks battled the 49er's. Close game but Hawks pulled it out. Onto the super bowl.
Monday turned out to be the best weather day and we soaked up the sun over at Bainbridge then made our way back to Shilshole for a splendid sunset.
A great little mini cruise and a great start to 2014.
