Who pooped on the dock?


We haven't gotten out for a couple days while I recuperated from the crud I caught. It was just too nice today. Well, a bit breezy, but sunny and upper 70s. We decided to take the boat out for a lunch date. Around the back side of our island, down the ship channel, and just a bit north to Pier 19. They have a grand total of one dock for diners arriving by boat...


See the guy sitting on the post behind our boat? Well, he had about 7 or 8 friends sitting on the dock. And, they have a pretty fishy diet. And, apparently we startled them as we approached the dock. They gave up their spot, but they left plenty of evidence of their diet behind them... watch your step!

A couple dockhands from the one of the bay fishing boats that is based there came over and took lines for us. Once we had the boat tied off and appropriately fendered, we went inside for lunch... well after Joan washed her hands... twice.

The food is always good there. I stopped to shoot that photo above before we headed out. The ship channel was lumpy on the way back, with wind against the tide - Joan was happy to have a functioning windshield wiper on her side again.

Back home, we took the kayaks off the cabin top; the next couple days we'll be prepping the boat to haul her out for a while...


I finally remembered to get a good shot of the new helm seat...
