Enjoyed a pleasant if not somewhat windy sail with Diane on President’s day.  We headed out of Shilshole about 2:00 PM into 20 Knot winds from thr North.  It was a kick watching the kite’s off Golden Gardens.  The wind was not too bad but the waves were starting to kick up some so we were only out for about an hour.  40 degree temperatures with these winds meant for quite a wind chill factor.  Coming back into Shilshole from the South we were reminded of the shallows beneath Magnolia bluff as we watched a sailboat grounded on the mud flats.  The Coast Guard was in attendance and the evening news reported that the boat was expected to float off with the flood tide.

Back at the dock we changed the oil and listed maintenance tasks for next month.

It gets real shallow beneath Magnolia Bluff
