Jarrell Cove

Nice sunny day, 66 degrees, breezy in the afternoon. Today was mostly a day of rest. That is, no cruising on C-Traveler. I did launch my kayak and peddle all around the shoreline of Jarrell Cove. After that, I walked around the island some, also along the shoreline, and then inland a bit looking for a geocache, which I found. Rest of the time was just chatting with a few other boaters here on the dock. There are two state park docks here, and a small private marina. The state park has a long dock, with power, but it was already filled with larger boats when I arrived yesterday. Then there is the T dock I’m on, without power. A 36’ sailboat came in late last night and shared the dock with me. There is also a state park Ranger boat at the end of this dock. A couple more boats came in and docked here today as well. This afternoon I cleaned up the kayak and started to put some things away, as I plan to head back to Port Orchard tomorrow morning. It’s forecast to be a 72 degree, sunny day. I’ll likely go all 55 miles tomorrow, so run a combination of both fast and slow. I’ve had a great time both at the Friday Harbor C-Brat gathering, and exploring Puget sound. But I’m ready to get back home for a bit. And I’ve pretty much seen everything I planned to see.Read more
