Fall Cruise 2010: Wet We Are!

19th to 22nd September: Getting Organized

After arriving back at Anchor Cove and settling into our slip; we took the next couple of days to clean Kozad, do laundry and exploring Anacortes!

Craig scrubbing the decks!


Takes a while to do a 30' boat with a bronze toothbrush!
Only way to get all the small lichen growth off of the nonskid decks.


We met our friends from the Comox Yacht Club at Anacortes
Four couples with five dogs!

The weather has continued to be challenging, having our boat under cover has made a significant difference for us. At least while we are on the dock!

Although wet weather, cool temperatures (averaging 10 degrees below normal) and living on the boat has created more challenges. One of them was dealing with very high levels of humidity: the outside RH has been sitting around 90%.


Kozad's New Dehumidifier!

We purchased a humidifier for Kozad; this has made a significant difference and we were able to decrease the RH inside our boat from 88% to 60%. Things are not so damp and cool feeling now!

We will be leaving Kozad for a few days to go to Sidney to celebrate a significant birthday and the timing is right for us to see our son Jim and the boys from his University House!
