More Shakedown
After getting our new boat back home to Tacoma and safely in the boathouse, we spent the next couple weeks stocking, organizing and running every system.
We usually do a 2 week trip to the San Juan’s at the end of June right after the kids get out of school. But this year, with the new boat, we wanted to stick closer to home so we went south instead of north.
Tuesday the 20st of June we finally left the dock (we had planned to leave a couple days before that but couldn’t get it together) headed for Penrose State Park only a few miles away. We wanted to anchor the boat for the first time so we dropped the hook, safely securing us to the seabed. We cruised around the bay in our 18’ center console boat we were learning how to tow behind the big boat and we went on some fun hikes in the park. This trip is all about taking it easy and learning our new boat.
After a couple nights at Penrose we decided to head to Olympia for some fun in the city. The weather forecast for next couple days was not too good so we thought being in the city was our best bet.
