Getting Ready for Boating Season

Time to get Kokomo ready for boating season

Scott and I spent four days unpacking and we also needed to get our boat Kokomo, ready for boating season. While we have done all of the exterior and mechanical work on our boat, it still wasn’t ready because nothing was on it. In preparation for winter, we removed things like bedding, carpet, coolers, cushions, etc and moved them into our storage unit.

On Sunday, we headed down to Public Storage on the waterfront and loaded up all of the boat supplies.

It took us three carts and two trips to bring everything back to the boat. Remember, we’re located at the end of the dock, which is about 1/4 mile walk. What’s really cool this year, is we have new neighbors and they are all really friendly and outgoing.

Quick run on Elliott Bay

It was so beautiful on Sunday, that we decided to take the boat out for a quick run on Elliott Bay. Our gas gauge doesn’t work great and we haven’t filled up the tank yet, so we didn’t go too far.  But being out on the water and enjoying the Seattle skyline, just brought back all of the reasons we want to be on the water.
