| Sunny 1 recomissioned and ready to go! |
We (Kathy, Liz, Tessie, and Sunny 1) arrived in Olympia on Thursday. It was a two-day road trip up Hwy 5 (though Sunny had to take some back roads). No, we didn't follow the truck but heard from the driver that Sunny cleared one particular overpass by only 1 inch! We later discovered that the top of the bow light (highest area when the mast was taken down) is somewhere down Hwy 5. Oh well - it needed replacing anyway...
We spent the next 5 days resting (a bit) and putting Sunny back together again. The folks at Olympia's Swantown Boatworks were terrific and the guest dock was quiet there at the very south end of the Puget Sound. Olympia is a town of only 40,000 (the state capital) but the downtown area by the marina has a real SF/Berkeley feel. A couple of our favorite places: The Bread Peddler (best apple fritter EVER), BonJour Cupcakes (yes, there's a theme here...), Farmer's Market, and Old School Pizza. We drove our vehicles up to Anacortes on Saturday. We've been doing a lot of walking, especially with Tessie and her quest for the 'perfect spot'.
