Back to Anacortes and then home

September 28th: It is hard to believe that we have now spent 30 days on the water. This has been quite an adventure, and one we want to repeat many times in the future. We have barely begun to explore the area, as there is so much more to see. Donna and I covered 255 nautical miles, which translates to 293 land miles!

Altogether, there were 12 nights at anchor, with the balance at marinas. We visited 12 islands within the San Juan and Gulf chains, which included 22 ports of call. There were so many highlights, it is impossible to state what we enjoyed the most. Our time with family was definitely a highlight, as was meeting and getting to know so many other people, both cruisers and hikers.

We hope you have enjoyed following our journey. On October 1, we will be home again. It's now time to take down the mast and rigging and get the boat on the trailer for the 600+ mile trip home.

Bye for now!

Don,
Thank you for sharing your adventures.

We also have an H260 that I have been debating towing to Anacortes vrs. chartering.

If you are willing to answer a few questions, please respond.
