Home Sweet Shilshole

It's a day early, but Insegrevious is back in her slip on Q dock again and we're back in Seattle!

We had our slip sublet through today and weren't planning on being back until tomorrow... and only half of us at that, as Mandy was going to have been dropped off in Poulsbo to go up and feed the cat and retrieve our car from Port Hadlock.

I got an e-mail this afternoon from the guy who we had sublet to saying that he had been able to get into his new permanent slip a day early and was all moved in already. Mandy was feeling rather poorly and hankering for a bath anyway (no baths on the boat... not enough water and no where to soak!) so we hauled the anchor and headed up out of Agate Pass and across Puget Sound to home.

It was another beautiful day, after the fog burnt off this morning, and I was a bit sad to leave our idyllic anchorage. But we would have had to go tomorrow pretty early anyway, and possibly in the fog, so this was probably for the best; all we're really missing is another night in the v-berth, and we had forgotten our pillows anyway. Plus, with Mandy not feeling well, it was no sure bet I would be able to send her up to Hadlock anyway, and as she can't really dock the boat on her own, I couldn't go, either.

So tomorrow I'll have to get up early and schlep myself up there the hard way, via ferry and transfers across four different transit systems. I've been wanting to get that figured out anyway, since in the future it seems like it might not be an uncommon commute for us, but I wasn't really planning it on such short notice. It's a busy week, though, and I suppose one more thing isn't so terrible. The boat, at least, is some place close and secure, and we can focus on other things for a short while.
