Saturday, 27July2013: Boston Harbor to Olympia

Weather:  Sunny and warm.  Winds:  Nil.  Seas:  Flat.

Motored to Olympia.  Interesting coming into a major port after small marinas.  Some vessels are huge!  I knew this intellectually, especially after 28yrs in the Navy and sailing around the sound.  It just was weird motoring past ships in the port.

Moored at the Port Plaza Dock for $15!  Nice, new facility.  Location was great as it is a couple blocks from the Farmer's Market were we restocked fruit, veggies and a couple thick pork chops.  Lots of plums, peaches and apricots available.

Nice to tour Olympia without worrying about getting home or traffic.  Concurrent with our visit was a Hempfest in Capital Lake Park.  Why do most of the hemp proponents look like 1970's counterculture...OK, hippies?  Visited a couple used book stores and had dinner at an Indian restaurant.
