Community Gathering

After leaving Hope Island we headed for Boston Harbor just a couple miles away.  We anchored out in front of the bay then made some lunch.  Boston Harbor marina has a cool, once a week, dinner on the docks.  They only have one thing on the menu and its sponsored by a local brewery who sets up a beer cart.  Enchiladas were on the menu tonight so we headed up to check it out.  People came from everywhere!  All these little boats swarmed the area trying to find a place to tie up and get some food.  We had a great time and it was fun to watch what seemed like the whole little community getting together for dinner on the docks.

The next day some friends of ours invited us to dinner at their house in Gig Harbor.  They have a buoy out front that we can tie up to so we jumped at the chance.  But first we needed to bring some food so we hopped in the Edgewater and headed back to Olympia for the farmer’s market.  We had a great time having dinner with friends then the next day we motored back to the Yacht Club.  The kids revolted over being out for the 4th of July.  They thought their life was going to end if they didn’t have fireworks so we gave in and went home.

It was a successful shakedown cruise.  Everything was slow and relaxing as we learned a lot about using our new boat.
