We are taking our M17-635 Eidolon to Gray's Harbor this weekend to experience a bit of that part of Washington state. We have never been, but it looks like a very interesting place to sail. We are going to stay/put in at the Westport Marina at the Port of Gray's Harbor, which is just across the mouth of the harbor from Ocean Shores. Probably will stick to sailing inside the harbor, going over to Hoquiam and up to Ocean shores. I guess if the conditions are OK we could duck out into the *real* Pacific just to say we have taken our Monty there :-p
Again, I would love to see any of you there, but I realize it is rather a long drive from Seattle (about 2.5 hours). We did go out on Saturday from Elliot Bay and sailed to Blake Island. There was a minus 2 foot tide at around 2pm, and a much larger (44 foot?) sailboat was stuck in the sand at the entrance to the state park marina at the Tillicum Village. We smirked a bit to ourselves as we sailed our M17 around her and into the marina, where we moored at the state run docks (a good reason to get the $60 year pass for state docks and bouys). Since we have never done the touristy Tillicum Village salmon dinner and performance thing, we did that and really were stuffed afterward (buy a loaf of the dark bread there, it is REALLY good).
