Sailing Adventures

Since Amelie was docked in Lake Union it required us to motor across the Lake Washingtion Ship Canal and through the Ballard Locks into Puget Sound.  From here we traveled to the Strait of Juan De Fuca and on to Neah Bay.  The Strait was a challenge with floating logs everywhere.  After dark around 11pm we hit 2 logs within 15 minutes of each other which prompted a crew wake up and check with Robin at watch, all was ok.  The remainder of the night was quiet.  We arrived to Neah Bay mid morning on Monday and anchored in the cove next to the marina.  Another weather check was completed and we decided the next window to head out was Friday, November 7th at 1am.  After the first night on anchor we pulled Amelie into the marina and spent the next 3 nights in a slip where we had access to the facilities and walking!  We worked on many projects during our time in Neah Bay.

At midnight on Friday our crew started preparations for departure.
