We've been seeing too much of this stuff here in the Portland-metro area. Photo by Erik Witsoe on Unsplash |
What are a couple of sun-starved California cruisers to do when our boat needs to be in covered moorage in a blustery, gray Pacific Northwest winter?
Simply put: leave!
Day1, February 16, 2020: Portland, OR > Crescent City CA
Day 1: California redwoods. Reasonable weather for February. |
We needed our sunglasses, which almost felt like it defeated the purpose of the trip. Nonetheless, we were grateful to get a good start in dry weather.
Simple gluten-free meals we can eat on the go, from the car if needed. |
Up next: more on the trip highlights.
Location Location (& A Brief Catch-Up)
Before and after this road trip, we've been busy.
Pete & Pongi, great friends and our hosts in Seattle when we came for the Seattle Boat Show. |
We've also been bopping around on house-sits* in the Portland-Vancouver Washington area since mid-November. House-sitting gets us off the boat and out from under the gloom of covered moorage during the already darkest days of winter. It also cleared the way for tackling some boat projects that don't meld well with living aboard. For example, Wayne recently refinished the floors in our salon; watch for photos on a future post.
Meanwhile, we're still sussing out what, when and where our next adventures will be. More on that as it evolves.
