Port of Everett Marina

After breakfast this morning, I walked up the hill to the First Lutheran Church of Poulsbo to attend their service. Wish I had known before I fixed my own breakfast, that the Sons of Norway were having a pancake breakfast this morning. (Saw the sign at the top of the marina ramp next to the park on the way to church…) The church is a historic building, and is used as a prominent landmark for boaters looking for the marina. We live in a small world. I learned that Pastor Paula at my church in Stoughton, was at one time the pastor of one of the pastors at Poulsbo.
It was rather rough crossing Puget Sound today in 1-2’ chop. I did mostly have a slight tail current, except for the last couple hours when I was bucking a slight head current. Crossing Puget Sound, I had to dodge logs, tows and freighters. Actually, only one of each. Lol. But logs in the water up here is a common hazard. Also have to watch out for the Washington State Ferries, and other passenger ships.
Coming into Everett, there is a naval ship yard, and then I also passed a USCG cutter. Everett is the largest public marina on the west coast, and it is a sprawling facility. It’s more like a marine business park, with several hotels, restaurants, yacht dealers and a marine repair yard.Baca lagi
