Welcome back and hope you all had a great summer!
Please tell us about your travels…what worked, what didn’t, where to go, what to avoid. There are lots of new boat owners in our marina that are dreaming of places to go and things to do! Everyone that has been out this summer has stories to tell.
Did you cruise South Sound or head north to the San Juan’s/Gulf Islands/Desolation Sound? Was the Canadian fire smoke an issue for you? …and how would you avoid it next year? Was water difficult to find? How about cell coverage? Tips for clearing Customs? Share your thoughts and helpful internet links that will encourage others to get out and use their boat!
No reported stats this week due to communication disruption caused by the Port’s internet outage. If you need to contact the Port police please do NOT call the direct line- please call 911 and ask to be transferred. Hopefully all the issues caused by the possible cyberattack on the port will be resolved soon. In the meantime, contact numbers for the Shilshole office and others have been posted at the top of every dock.
