Everett Washington to Bainbridge Island August 3rd, 2008



We left Everett and headed for Bainbridge Island. Bainbridge is a good sized island in the middle of Puget Sound. It has Seattle on one side and the “Great Olympic Peninsula” on the other. Bainbridge Island is where our friends Rachel and MK have moved from Denver Colorado. We hope to meet up with them sometime while they are in the process of moving. We called around to the various marinas and by accident ended up right where Alexus wanted to go, Harbor Marina run by a great guy and character named Fred. It really was perfect. We had a bow-in starboard tie in a slip, water, electricity, restaurants nearby, laundry and a shower with unlimited hot water!!! We went to the Harbor Public House restaurant and met two charming men, Jerry and his friend and they shared their boating stories and we shared ours. They were so amazed we had brought the boat up the coast and we invited them to come see NuMoon. They enjoyed coming aboard and seeing a “Trawler.” We exchanges contact information and the next day we received an e-mail from Jerry thanking us for the tour of NuMoon and wishing us the best as we continued our travels.
