I was invited to a Shilshole Yacht Club rafting event in Liberty Bay on July 3rd by Joe Bozick, an ex-commodore. Hundreds of boats gather on the 3rd and celebrate our nation’s independence. I had never been to a rafting event before so I read up on how to raft, loaded extra bumpers and line

This weekend on Puget Sound the marinas are a flurry of activity. Boats by the thousands are going out on the water to enjoy the long holiday weekend and extra caution is required during all boating activities. Yesterday I watched a man die 50 feet away from me after his dinghy fell and hit him

Race 4 in the Sloop Tavern Yacht Club 2015 Ballard Cup Series II on Joe’s Sweden 36, Breeze. Breeze is the boat second from the right, going the opposite direction. We were going opposite because we had already rounded the mark and were passing back through the fleet!

Josh and I enjoy camping and backpacking. This year we picked up some hammocks and for the trial run of our hammock camping we decided to head out to Blake Island. The wind was awesome and the waves were amazing. About 5′ in height.
