We left Thursday for our shakedown cruise to Sucia Island in the San Juan Islands.  We arrived late in the evening just in time for the beautiful sunset.   All systems are go.  The next time LaMouette pulls away from its dock it will be North to Alaska.  Be sure to check in from time to time to see how things are going.

 

As most of you know S/V LaMouette along with our friends Steve and Joyce Glenn on S/V Puffin and joining us along with Rob and Sharon Wells on S/V Velveteen Rabbit are heading north to Alaska on or around May 7th.  We have been very busy for the last few months getting LaMouette ready in preparation for our adventure.  We have added radar, a new GPS, and an electric windlass to help us raise and lower the anchor in deep water.  Our plans are to go North as far as Skagway with stops at Tracey Arm, Glacier Bay, Misty Fjords and Anan Bear Observatory.  We plan on attaching photos along with our log entries to this site.  You will be receiving emails letting you know that a new entry has been made.  Feel free to log on anytime or you can wait for the email.  We think you can leave a comment--this is all new to us.  We are planning on going to Sucia Island next weekend for a shakedown cruise.  Squalicum Yacht Club is helping the Washington Parks clean up after our winter storms.

 

Fair Winds and Calm Seas,
