Sailing to Seattle

Today is the Labor Day Holiday. Chris chartered a sailboat and Meghan reserved a delightful bay house. Chris’s interest in sailing goes way back to childhood. When he was 9, Chris and his dad, my late husband, Randy, took a lake sailing course. It was on Lake Chautauqua in New York. Chris wants a sailboat and is studying how to operate, navigate, and the different sailboats.

We left our place in the morning, with a little concern because there were no wind. Having no wind would be wonderful if we were going snorkeling, but its the opposite for sailing, wind is a necessity.

We met captain Scott of Pacific Northwest Sailing Adventures. We met him at the pier on Bainbridge Island, WA. IF you have interest, check our his website:

Captain Scott took good care of us and answered so many questions. You’re able to book online

Were off to meet Captain Scott of Pacific Northwest Sailing Adventures. We met him at the pier on Bainbridge Island, WA.

Chris wanted to help crew and get some more hands on experience

Meghan, enjoying the day.

Chris got to drive/sail after we left the harbor.

Captain Scott, is a pilot, a lawyer, and worked in Seattle. He sailed to work, in downtown Seattle. It took about an hour. We’re very pleased to charter with him. He answered our sailing questions. Chris impressed me on knowing all the lingo. He showed Chris around the boat, the engine, and the sails, he explained everything. Chris helped manage the sails.

Me, feeling the cool breezes. I love the ocean.

Passed interesting rock formation, normally sea lions sun on these rocks, but when people are present they retreat to the water.

The space needle, or that’s what we call it in Texas. We have one in San Antonio

Back to the pier. Fun day and we learned a lot about sailing and sailboats.
