Stuart island out cruising
More support is always good. Doing little projects to finish things up the next couple of weeks and hopefully dropping the dock lines and will be out cruising.
Solar panels are up and have a little more wiring to do but should be powered by the sun here soon!
This last week has been crazy but the bimini Canvas is complete.
Bimini frame install today. We got it done! It was a long day. Our friend Libby helped us she owns Sew Hags Canvas Co in Bellingham. More stuff coming soon.
Pixy checking out what I get up to during the week. It's nothing fun I work a 9 to 5 job right now to pay for these boat bucks and adventure life.
Cat on the loose. We got a cat, her name is Pixy she's a 3 year old flame point siamese mix. Welcome pixy to the Third Eye Sailing Crew
Ronan ,our dinghy, has a new to us motor. It's a little 5hp honda from 2006. Should be good for ship to shore and slightly longer distances if needed. Won't get us on plane, but that's ok. More to come, stay tuned!
Love this.
In these troubled times, we need to remember that humanity always finds a way. We need to be hopeful that truth and justice will prevail and that the people will rise up and get in some good trouble.
The thing about this is that not everything can be done online now there is still a lot of things that need to be done via phone or going in which isn't possible for some people.
When cruising or even iut on weekend trips, getting to shore is something that is important to stretch your legs and explore. That means a good dinghy is in order. We picked up a 9 foot fiberglass rib by Caribe for a great deal
Part of the struggle with doing boat work sometimes is not the lack of motivation or the lack of knowledge. It's the fact that you can't find the part or tool you bought a month ago to do the job. How can things disappear in a 30 ft by 11 ft space? I just don't understand. That is all.
So true lol
A picture of a ferry and a building from a balcony with water and trees in the background.
With daylight savings time in effect, sunset in Friday Harbor is now 7 pm, which means at 7:30, we get cool shots like this. For people in the know, the Big Dark is over!

Ah ok yeah our summers here can be little to now wind and the fall and winter can be crazy winds.
Oh wow that's crazy
The state of our country is in chaos. Especially after that State of Disunion address last night. Here's a pretty picture to disassociate.
Very cool. How is the sailing over there most of what you see on YouTube is carribean and such
Living on a boat is just doing boat work in exotic places, is what they say. But in reality, it's doing boat work at the dock you have been at for the last 4 months because it's winter in the PNW, which means rain and 60 knot wind storms. The latest adventure is installing a 2 kw inverter fun fun.
