On our way home....

We decided to make a run up to Anacortes.  The weather is good for the weekend, the tides, currents and everything looks good.  Sure, we've never been through the Ballard locks before, but we stopped by before hand and watched how it was done. 

We got back to C Otter and we were ready to shove off. On the way out, we asked the Freemont Bridge to be opened as we thought we were 25 feet and we thought the bridge was 30 feet, but heck, why take a chance with a new boat??? With our signal to the bridge attendant, the bells and whistles went off., the cars stopped and the bridge opened, just for us! 

The lock attendants were great and here we go...from Lake Union out to Pugent Sound..... so ,now,  tucked into Kingston marina for the night, we head north tomorrow.  Knowing today was a great day. Another first under our belts. WE  LOVE BOATING!!!
