Our plans changed again yesterday afternoon when we got the estimate of what it was going to cost at Port Angeles for a simple haul out(at 50% off) and one coat of bottom paint. Their estimate came to over $1700.00. That puts them ahead of Sea Marine for gouging. We have called Port Townsend back and now expect to get hauled out on July 28. We plan on being over there for a few days in the marina to get what we need to have done that can be done without Zephyr being on the hard. Once we get those few projects done--shopping for clothes, food, having the fuel "polished", having the mast head fixed(the main still won't go up to the top of the mast easily) and having a quick disconnect put on the forestaysail stay just to name a few.
It was a simple trip(24.2 miles) over from San Juan Island. We avoided a few large freighters hauling containers and a tug or two and pulled in about 1300. There was just one other boat in the bay so that keeps it nice and quiet. We never heard a peep out of them. There were some kids on shore but its a great place for them to play on the island so there are always kids there.
We've come 941 miles since we left Juneau and the final total will be in in a day or so. We're waiting for Brion Toss to get back with us at to when he can start work of finishing the rigging. I called him yesterday so we will see when he calls back. We want to arrange our schedule with his if we can.
That's about it for now. We're sitting in limbo for a few days or so.
