From Base Seattle onward

We had a great stay at Base Seattle. Thanks to those who hosted us and helped arrange it!

After our initial tours and talks about the boat at the station, we went for a walk through Seattle's Pioneer Square district, then went back to the station and settled in for the evening.  The next morning, we gave a few more tours of the boat.  Because it was Saturday, there weren't many folks left at the station to tour, so we left a bit early and found Illahee State Park for our night moorage.

Sunday we spent lunchtime in Poulsbo, and once again, found a terrific town, with charming, interested people.  Gave about 6 presentations about the boat, had a nice, relaxing lunch, and motored on. 

Once again, we went farther than expected.  We passed a few places we might have stopped, and found Camano State Park on the map.  Well, it has only a fishing boat launch, so we found a mooring buoy and hung out for the night.  We were tired from a long day of running.
