Anacortes

What a welcome sight that Anacortes sign was. After eight days on the road, we were ready to finally float on water. Right after we launched Kismet, the work began. No rest for the weary! We still had to load more stuff from the truck into the boat, clean her, do laundry, and do some major provisioning.

We spent four days in Anacortes. It is a huge marina, close to the town of Anacortes, and the grocery store is practically across the street. We didn’t have much time to check out the town or sights as we were eager to push off the dock and head to Canada.
