New Boat Progress

August 25^th and 26^th – We are so excited about our new new boat being built by the wonderful folks at American Tugs in La Conner.  Our 34’ American Tug has been such an incredible boat for our family, but its time to get some more room and their 48 footer will be perfect.  We are about 1/3 of the way through the build process and today we get to see the progress they made over the last few weeks.  Its such an interesting process to watch these highly skilled craftsmen take raw materials and turn it into a beautiful boat.  It was fun sharing the experience with our friends Todd & Tami as we all walked the shop floor looking at the progress.

After the tour it was time to say goodbye to our wonderful friends who we have shared such great boating experiences with over the last couple weeks.  Thanks Todd, Tami, Briana, & Zach for the fun times!

Now its back to reality.  We made our way even further south (56.10nm) and tied up at Bell Harbor Marina in Seattle for some back to school shopping.  The next 2 days were spent running around the city getting all the necessary items for the kids to go back to school.  The highlight though, was our end of trip celebration dinner at Etta’s.
