Fall Boating in the PNW
Fall boating in the Pacific Northwest is absolutely gorgeous! People have told Scott and I, how lucky we have been in regards to the weather during our first year of boating. All summer, we had warm gorgeous calm seas and so far, Fall is much of the same.
Yesterday, we went down to the boat at Elliott Bay Marina to finish some engine work and check on the winter preparations (that blog will come next). We needed to take it out for a bit to get the seagrowth off of the bottom, the props and also to get the new engine oil dispersed throughout. While checking on the props again, I noticed that the one that was bent, is actually really busted. All three blades are broken, but it has been that way since mid summer. We decided to take it out just for a short jaunt across the bay and we did just fine.
Even with a bad propeller, it was a nice smooth ride towards downtown Seattle, as we cruised with our good friend Meghann and enjoyed the views!
Downtown Seattle really has one of the prettiest skylines around. It never gets old, just cruising by on a sunny day!
While it might look warm and sunny, you did need your parka! I look like I’m 500lbs with my parka and life jacket on! LOL
Stay tuned for this week’s posts, where I will update everyone on the propeller situation and how we are keeping #Kokomo warm this week. Cheers, Scott and Ally
