Dave and Melissa left Everett for Poulsbo 9/12. It was a smooth crossing.
The next day, we head south to pick up the Maurer crew at Jennifer's. The red kayak gets a new home here. Once the three guests are on board, we head for Ostrich Bay.
The next day, we ran out of gas for the portable generator so needed to go on the search for power and or more gas. Up to Silverdale we went and tied up on the dock. They still do not have power on the dock so Jim went and filled the little gas can on land. It was a noisy/windy night. Dave gave up trying sleep and rose at 5:00.
On the 17th we head for the Bremerton Marina for a night.
After a peaceful night, we did a side trip up to Brownsville before taking Jennifer home. Dave put 25 gallons of gas into the tank and topped the dinghy tank. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew set off for the famous butcher returning with various lovely meats. It is low tide so tying to Jennifer's buoy is questionable. We tried lowering the dinghy platform while drifting but it wouldn't budge. Then Melissa noticed hydraulic fluid in the water. At least the platform was stuck up, not down. Back to Bremerton we went. Jennifer ended up taking two ferries to get back to Bainbridge Island.
