Brownsville to Blake Island
Blake Island on a buoy, a friendly otter, more porpoises than I’ve seen before off Bainbridge Island, and shopping in Poulsbo: a great, long weekend. Because of contrary wind and currents, we motored most of this trip, but at every turn we were presented with postcard views of middle Puget Sound. Transiting waterbodies like Rich Passage and Agate Passage is always interesting. With a deli, restrooms, launch ramp, free parking, overnight moorage, and proximity to many great destinations, we like Brownsville.
"October Frost" trip to Kingston
Grey. Cool. A light breeze. The conditions as I prepared to pull out of my driveway came as no surprise for a Puget Sound fall day. With Whisper in tow, I left Shelton at 9 am, arriving in Brownsville just after 10 am. Ubi Ignis Est arrived soon after, and Jim began rigging at the boat launch while I raised the mast and attached the myriad pins, rings, lines and hoses in the parking lot.
