Cruised out of Shilshole, passed through the locks and 3 drawbridges to anchor out on Lake Union to watch the fireworks. This is the only night of the year you are allowed to anchor overnight on this

A bit of video from helping some friends move their boat from Pensacola to Key West across the Gulf of Mexico. Some sailing and some motoring

There was a nice breeze so I couldn't resist going sailing. The wind kind of shut off around sunset so I ended up being out until about 11:30 PM

I was planning on having this up last year, but one thing and another, and instead of heading back up to Seattle, I ended up traveling with a friend to the Bahamas for a couple of weeks over the holidays. Hopefully I can get this back on track :)

Performing maintenance and upgrades to Strega, my Hunter 28.5, while in Austin. some of the tasks aren't shown too well, but I did get the cabin sole back down. the lights on the compass now work as well. associated blog page - https://nelsonatsea.wordpress.com #sailing #sailboat #sailboats

I decided to go sailing on the solstice to celebrate the arrival of summer. I worked to straighten out the flip from portrait to landscape, and added a bit of a soundtrack. associated blog page - https://nelsonatsea.wordpress.com #sailing #sailboat #sailboats #pnw #pugetsound

This is the start of my journey. How I got into sailing and the road that has taken me to here. Given the twists and turns in this journey I felt the name the previous owner gave the boat was very appropriate - Twisted Journey associated blog page - https://nelsonatsea.wordpress.com #sailing #sailboat #sailboats #pnw #pugetsound

Just a walk through of the boat and a bit of the marina at Bremerton, Washington associated blog page - https://nelsonatsea.wordpress.com #sailing #sailboat #sailboats #pnw #pugetsound
