Today I had the opportunity to make a run from Port Townsend out to Tatoosh Island to transport a charter looking at a renovation of the Old Lighthouse. I understand the lighthouse is being renovated as part of its turn over back to the Tribes in the future. Since were are giving it back I guess they want it to look pretty.
It was a stellar spring day, had both flat and a short 3' chop at different parts of both legs. Total time on the water was 6.5 hours and logged right at 175 miles.... most of the miles were between 35-40kts. Had to slow to 30kts in the chop. Fuel burn was around 500g., I love driving a fast boat and not have to pay for the fuel. This boat was a sistership to the Fast ferry I delivered a couple years back.
The Coasties were out in the straits, saw a large cutter and a couple smaller ones doing their thing.
It was an amazing day at the island with a small swell and almost no wind.. very unusual.
It was easy to forget all the corona troubles and just get out on the water and enjoy it!
