Five bridges in Puget Sound
Passing under five bridges eight times in a week isn’t something I had planned to do, but it was remarkably fun. This was to be a test trip for a possible Northwest Potters group sail to Tacoma, but my experience in Tacoma wasn’t as positive as I had hoped it would be.
Zittell’s Marina to Penrose Point
We left Shelton about 8 am and arrived at Zittel’s Marina on Johnson Point about 9 am. We were rigged by 10 am and launched about 10:15 am. The launch fee was $10 and parking was $5 a night.
Under a blue sky devoid of wind, we slowly motored out of Zittel’s into the Nisqually Reach. Turning southeast, we cruised in the ebb current around the south end of Anderson Island, hitting over five knots at half throttle.
