After a shakedown cruise
attending the 2016 Selene Owner’s Rendezvous in Roche Harbor, we returned to
Anacortes and put on the last few items of gear and food for the first part of
our trip north. We have our friends Lisa
and Ted Marx joining us for the first several weeks as we make our way to Port
McNeill.
At 1145 we cast off the
lines in Anacortes Marina and headed to Cap Sante Marina to top off the main fuel
tank and spare fuel for the tenders.
Once again we are towing the 18 foot Grady White, now making its 4th
trip to SE Alaska at the end of a towline.
By 1230 we had added 370 gallons of diesel fuel, so with the Grady White
in tow we set off westbound in Guemes Channel, riding the ebb tide to boost our
speed.
By 1615 we had the lines
attached to a nearly deserted “G” dock in Roche Harbor, our destination for the
evening. The four of us had a pleasant
dinner at McMillin’s Restaurant, the only choice in Roche Harbor this time of
year.
