As the upgrades on Airship get closer and closer to being finished (I know, very funny), we’re getting antsier and antsier to be out on the water. Summer’s over and we’ve only spent about 3 days aboard, which in a normal year would be closer to 7 months aboard, so this is quite a change. But this year is different than most, by far.
The new Victron lithium batteries and inverters are installed and working, the new Blaze grill is installed, and with the only thing left being a few finishing touches on the watermaker install, we decided to head to LaConner and go out for a week or so….for testing purposes, of course.
Our friend Steve Mitchell also happened to be cruising around the islands and we were able to meet up with him for a few days for some socially distanced buddy boating, hiking, and happy hours. We even got to connect with Sam and Anna on Akeeva one night over on San Juan Island! We’ve really missed the social aspect of cruising around with friends, so this was a very nice surprise!
