September 2010: Kozad's First Cruise From Anchor Cove Marina

6th to 8th September: We arrived in Anacortes from Sidney after spending the weekend in Victoria visiting our son Jim, attending a wedding, touring the Victoria Wooden Boat Festival and a few days with Joanne and Jennifer.

The weather was unseasonably cool; overcast with some rain but nothing that is dampening our spirits of getting back on the boat! A benefit of this unsettled weather are the beautiful sunsets and cloud formations!

We spent the first evening getting to know some new boating friends we met in Campbell River (June 2o1o). Charles and Joan also have their Pacific Trawler 40 "Sea Eagle" at the Anchor Cove Marina; Charles happened to be at the dock and invited us for an impromptu supper.

This is our first trip to Kozad since moving to Anchor Cove Marina!

What a difference covered moorage makes; the boat is dry, clean there was no work to be done! Only thing we had to do was have a diver scrape barnacles off of the rudder and prop!

We spent the next day provisioning (Costco and just about every other grocery store in town); we were up early (0645) the next morning and started our long awaited cruising on Kozad!
