Yesterday was the official opening day of boating season, so today boats were streaming through the locks. I counted 33 boats in the lock with us as we were lowered from the level of Lake Union to Puget Sound. Compare that to last weekend when we were the only boat in the lock. All proceeded in an orderly fashion though and we squirted out into the sound a mere hour and a half after leaving the dock - not bad, considering the stampede.
The day’s travel northward was relatively uneventful. With no main sail and wind out of the north, we didn’t have an opportunity to do any sailing, but it was a lovely day and the spinnakers were out in force. It’s Sunday night in Port Townsend. so moorage is plentiful. Dinner in town was followed by hot showers and a look at tomorrow’s charts. We’ll start the day at the sail loft where we’ll pick up a couple new sails, detailed in a previous post, and then head north into Canadian waters.
