Moving the boat to Seattle

March 10, 2013

Today was the day! After waiting many months zzZippety Doo Dah has finally moved to Seattle’s Elliot Bay Marina :).

Zippey has been moored in Bremerton, WA since I purchased the boat in Everett, WA and sailed her down. Zippey is not only my first boat, I also learned to sail on her. The Sinclair Inlet area around Bremerton has been a great place to learn to sail. Winds are moderate and waves small to non-existant. The marina in Bremerton is also great. I have been very happy there, but alas, now that I live in Seattle it has been a pain to schedule sailing trips around a one hour ferry trip.

Since it has taken me so long to do a full write up I am just going to post some pics, and maybe come back to this later as it is a historic occasion 🙂

The moving crew: Judy & Bryan Witherwax, Matt Pearson, Jaffe Worley
