So It Begins!!

We started this trip at the fuel dock in Kalama WA.  What a pain in the butt!  The machine would only give you $150 at a time.  We took on over $300 gallons, so the $150 at a time to awhile.

We overnight in Astoria for the bar crossing the next morning.  The bar was nice and smooth and once clear of the second green can, we turned NW for Cape Flattery. 

Normally from Astoria to Neah Bay is 12 hours.  It took us 13 hours as the seas were all confused and we were head into a current.  When we finally reached Cape Flattery the seas died down and easy cruising into Neah Bay.  It would appear the red buoy at Cape Flattery was removed and a AIS buoy is now in its place.

We had a nice quiet night in Neah Bay, we awoke to glass seas and no wind!  So, we went to the fuel dock.  I swore I would never fuel here because of wind and the rudeness of the fuel dock attendant.  This time, the young man helped tie us up and we took on 320 gallons of fuel.  Price was $2.79 a gallon. 

The cruise from Neah Bay to Friday Harbor was a nice calm relaxing cruise.  We did have to dodge a few cruise ships, just arriving to Puget Sound from points south.  The tourist season has begun.

Our friends Ron and Kathy Evans boat "The George Emery."  It just sold and we are sad and happy for our friends.  

Tanking on fuel.  I think Kay just like toe view!!
