May 27 – Octopus Island Marine Park

The night in Drew Harbor was pleasant with virtually no wind the entire night. The rain stopped overnight and the day started with broken clouds.

We did a leisurely start because we had to time our arrival at Surge Narrows to be slack (the time when the current is the minimum as it changes direction). Slack was around 10:20 AM so we raised our anchor at about 8:45 since we only had 9 miles to cover.

Octopus Island Marine ParkWe dropped our anchor and had the engine off at 11:30.  To the right is a screen clipping from the charting program I use to drive the boat that shows where we are and the route we followed. The narrow channel we came in on was straight and fair although narrow as it was low tide.

 

Before HaircutSince we had a free afternoon, it was time to open up Marcia’s barbershop and give Kurt a clipping. We decided to use the #0 clipper for a nice close trim. After HaircutWe think the before and after photos convincingly demonstrate that point.

 

Daily Mileage - 15.1 miles

  1. The before and after pictures remind me of the Cable TV show anti-hero on Breaking Bad or one of the Watergate characters.
