Porpoises for Memorial Day




          











Prescott’s friends Josh and Sara came up from Portland for a Memorial Day sail, enjoying excellent skies, handfuls of porpoises, and lazy breezes. We had an exceptionally low tide that day, which caused some consternation on my part getting out of the dock with our rather deep-draft vessel, but Prescott apparently knows those fairways pretty well by now, so we exited Shilshole without issue. Thinking about doing more caulking and cleaning tonight in preparation for Barkley sound in a couple weeks.
