SV Three Quarter Time

Over the course of last winter and spring, we joined this great rally to help us get from Port Townsend, Washington, pretty much all the way to Mexico.  We attended very informative seminars presented by the Coho Hoho, and even got to participate in a raft-up in Blakely Harbor.  We made some great friends, shared awesome stories, and eventually 7 sailboats left together on the 14th of August from Port Townsend.  The night before we left, there was a FANTASTIC pirate-themed party put together by the folks at Cruising Outpost.  On the 1st night, a few of us stayed overnight and fueled up in Port Angeles, but eventually all of us made it into Newport, Oregon.  Since Paul and I are only a crew of two, we opted to spend an extra night in Newport to get much needed rest and prepare for our journey to Eureka.  We left port on a beautiful morning, passing the ever-present sea lions, traveling through the often tricky bar, on our way out to sea.  We were about 20 miles south when Paul noticed w

We have cut the umbilical cord that was Seattle and Tacoma.  We are finally traveling around Puget Sound and, when weather permits, we are honing our sailing skills.  We are currently updating and repairing some minor issues on the boat (thermostat, electronics, etc), but have been on the hook whenever we get the chance.  We've seen some cool wildlife to note, no whales yet, but several varieties of the feathered-kind. As we were fueling up at the Foss Harbor Marina, Grant (an employee there) was kind enough to offer water to this mother duck, whom has nested for two summers in a row here in this hanging flower basket.    Her eggs did not survive last summer, but we are hoping this years eggs will survive. We worked our way to Blakely Harbor, across from Seattle, and saw this eagle hanging out on shore foraging for food; he was quite the opportunist. After spending a night in Everett, we traveled north to Coupeville, then on towards Anacortes, where we s

During the winter months, Paul took a job out-of-state to help pay for new sails, work on the hull, and other various upgrades.  Debbie and Sydney stayed on the boat and took care of TQT during the rainiest winter on record in Seattle.  We didn't have any updates during that time, but will be playing catch-up this week before we set sail on new adventures.  Stay tuned as we catch you up on pictures, accomplishments, and stories!
