Winter Cruising

After our big summer cruise of 2012 we had some great fall/winter cruising.  The most memorable was taking off on New Years Day for a 5 day run up to LaConner for some work at the factory.

The weather was beautiful but super cold.  Skies were clear with almost no wind.  Highs during the day were just over freezing and every morning we woke up to a frozen boat.  Ice and frost covered the docks and beaches, is was an awesome sight but slippery!  Our heater got a serious workout.  I don’t think it ever turned off the whole time but it did keep us warm.

We had a great time at Deception Pass where we stayed a Cornet Bay (TYC outstation).  We played on the beach for a few hours in the freezing cold all bundled up in our winter clothing.
