As we pulled into the shopping center, we saw a "mobile" glass repair tent. I'd gotten a crack in the windshield as I drove North last month coming up from Newport. I pulled in and got it fixed. Since we have complete coverage on the car, out insurance company paid for it. A nice surprise.
Then into the mall and shop. We'd made a list and sort of stuck to it. Store after store after store. One of the most important things we went looking for was long underwear. It does get cold up here especially when out sailing. It took several store before we found pairs for both of us. The rest of the shopping was for other stuff that we had wither run out of or felt we needed to make life on board a bit more comfortable. Of course Costco was a must while there. You just can't go to the big city without hitting Costco. We actually got gas at $1.89!! Now for you in Denver, that may be the norm but for us, we are still paying $2.09 and that just got reduced a day ago from $2.29.
We got a call while there from West Marine that things we'd special ordered in had arrived so we stopped in on the way through Port Townsend and picked them up.
It was windy in Port Townsend the entire time we were in Silverdale so the wind generator got a good workout. We'd left it on while gone and let her rip. The batteries were fully charged when we returned.
And that was the way the day went. As I said--fast and furious.
