Happy (Belated) New Year to all of you!

[Joefairbanks]

Just wanted to say, a little late, Happy New Year to all of you!
My wife and I rang in the New Year on the water! We spent New Years Eve in a slip at Point Hudson Marina in Port Townsend and had a great seat for the fireworks show from our cockpit!






On New Year's Day, we went through Port Townsend bay, through the Portage Canal and into Oak Bay.
We ended up in Port Ludlow for our second night of our weekend.
We left Port Ludlow on Friday and did a trip to Pleasant Harbor on the Hood Canal, about 25 miles from Port Ludlow.



On Saturday morning, we returned to Port Townsend to load up for our trip home.
In our travels through the whole weekend, we only saw one other vessel actually traveling on the water- a sailboat on Portage Canal. It was an amazing weekend and very relaxing- exactly what we needed!
It's amazing to me how peaceful it is traveling this area in the "off-season"! As long as you keep an eye on the weather, it can be extremely rewarding!
Happy New Year everyone! I hope you all are enjoying your boats as much as possible!

Great photos! Thank you for posting them. Nice to see you both out on the water enjoying your new to you Sjohest. Also, happy belated New Year to you too. Colleen and I look forward to seeing you both again on the water in May with the annual C-Brats Friday Harbor Get-Together happening on May, 14 to 17. Hope you are able to make it then.

Thanks Gary! We have really been enjoying her! I hope you and Colleen have been getting Daybreak out some this winter too.
Happy to hear the dates for the Friday Harbor get-together! We will be there! It was the highlight of our boating year in 2025, and wouldn’t miss it!
We will definitely be checking for the official sign-up and slip reservations!
