On to Gig Harbor

Mt. Rainier




Liz and The Narrows Bridge


We're here! Gig Harbor is a cute little harbor with lots of beautiful boats. We arrived yesterday afternoon after a 30 mile trip up from Olympia. The water was like glass and Mt. Rainier served as our escort to the east all the way up. What a wonder she is, so grand and mystical. We timed our trip so that we hit the Tacoma Narrows around slack tide (time between ebb tide and flood tide). The currents can run up to 5 knots so you won't make much head way if you travel at the wrong time (you can even go backwards!). We spotted some very small dolphins on our way (only 3 - 4 ft long). Cute and compact!
K & T at Arabella's, Gig Harbor
We are staying at Arabella's Landing in Gig Harbor for two days before heading north to Kingston on Friday. This will be another 30 mile 
trip but time seems to stand still aboard our Sunny 1 as she gently rocks you along your way. Today is a day of much needed rest from the craziness of prepping and moving. It is wonderful to finally be here after all our hard work and planning. We feel quite blessed and are so grateful for all the love and support we've received along the way.
