Delivery of Strider to Marine Servicenter for a bottom job.
Richard, a Brit dock neighbor, had just returned from wintering (summering) in Australia and wanted to get out on the water. The two of us hopped aboard Strider and got underway, sailing initially under main and genoa. After chasing the wind for 1.5hrs, we gave up around the Anacortes Ferry landing and motored to Fidalgo Bay where the wind picked up again! Then sailed to the entrance of the Anacortes Marina.
Entry in was uneventful and we tied off at MSC's fuel dock in anticipation of a lift on Monday. Jude, Richard's Aussie wife, picked us up and delivered us back to Skyline. G'day!
