Home safe in Seattle! Some stats:
- 2800nm traveled over 93 days beginning May 13th
- 29 days in port vs 64 days at anchor
- 3 guest couples aboard - over the best 3 weeks 😃
- Hundreds of whales 🐋 and bald eagles, lots of brown bears 🐻, sea otters, and other wildlife. The bear spray can was never used.
- Zero mechanical or systems issues. One destroyed tender outboard propellor, replaced. 😬 One lost orange ball fender. If you see it please grab it.
- 2500 gallons of freshwater made from saltwater with the new Bluewater watermaker
- Never had to start the generator solely to recharge House batteries after 920ah LiFePO battery upgrade; we ran the generator ~2hrs per day making water, heating water, and doing laundry.
Thanks for checking in and following along with your encouraging 😀 words - this full retirement trip has been a goal for some time now.
