We couldn't get her into the Port Townsend marina, but instead settled on Port Hadlock a few miles to the south. We got on the waiting list for a Port Townsend slip, and enjoyed the smallness of the Hadlock marina. It's called the Old Alcohol Plant for good reason.
Here's the boat anchored in Snoring Bay, Sucia Island in the San Juans. This is a favorite anchorage we returned to often.

Another San Juans anchorage. They're all somewhat the same, featuring calm waters, great beaches and trails to explore, and friendly sailor on other boats.
These islands are only 25 miles north of Port Townsend across the Straits of Juan deFuca.

Calm anchorages mean romantic evenings afloat. It just doesn't get any better.

Dinner in the cabin. Sea Witch didn't have a table when we got here, but the old photos in Jo's books show one just like this. Larry used the old kitchen countertop from home, flipped it over and varnished the mahogany plywood. The other side is still the kitchen Formica top.

New navigation cabinet on the left and caned cabinet doors added more refinements. She didn't have any cabinet doors when we got her, so stuff just spilled out when we heeled.

A new main cockpit door replaced the old washboards. The little belaying pin holds the door back. Below, there's a new grate with air louvers for fresh air.
|
New varnish on the old trim, and a new cockpit grate made an appearance. The old grate is now doing duty as a hot tub grate at home.
Construction of the new grate: lots of little pieces all have to fit together perfectly.
